Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Goes deep again Saturday
Rotowire
Torres went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Twins.
Torres hit his second home run in the last three days, giving him four long balls this month and nine total for the season. The infielder's power surge is notable, as his four June home runs have come across 25 games, while he had five long balls in his previous 46 contests. At this rate, last year's mark of 15 home runs with the Yankees is well within reach, and Torres could reach the 20-homer plateau for the fifth time in his career if he stays dialed in.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Productive in easy win
Rotowire
Torres went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox.
Torres was productive from the No. 2 spot in the lineup, though he and every other Detroit player was overshadowed by No. 3 hitter Kerry Carpenter, who crushed three home runs. This was also the 2025 debut for Parker Meadows, who missed the first 60 contests while recovering from a nerve issue. Meadows batted first and delivered a double, a triple, a stolen base and three runs scored. If Torres remains sandwiched between Meadows and Carpenter most days, his fantasy output and the Tigers' offense overall could both trend upward.
