Torkelson To Toledo

 

     The Detroit Tigers sent First Baseman #20 Spencer Torkelson down to the Toledo Mud Hens earlier this afternoon.  Torkelson is currently batting .197 in 83 games played for the Tigers this season.  A bright spot for Spencer Torkelson has been his defense at first base.  Torkelson has only been charged with 1 error in 83 games played for the Tigers this season.  The move to Toledo should allow Torkelson to have less pressure at the plate.  Spencer Torkelson was selected by the Detroit Tigers with the 1st overall pick in the 2020 MLB (Major League Baseball) Draft.

     The Detroit Tigers are currently in 4th place in the AL Central standings with an overall record of 37-55.  The Tigers are currently 12 games out of first place.  The Toledo Mud Hens are currently in 4th place in the International League West standings with an overall record of 45-43.  The Mud Hens are currently 8.5 games out of first place.
