Playing time trending down
Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.
Analyse
It's the third time over the last four games that Torkelson has been out of the lineup, and against right-handers he's sat out four of the past five. Across his last 70 plate appearances, Torkelson is just 8-for-62 (.129) with a 40 percent strikeout rate. Colt Keith is getting another start at first base, and he could remain the preferred option at the position versus right-handed pitching down the stretch.

On bench again Tuesday
Torkelson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Analyse
The 27-year-old will hit the bench Tuesday for the second time in Detroit's past three games. Torkelson has been struggling at the plate the last few weeks with a .133/.235/.283 slash line and 38.2 percent strikeout rate in his past 20 contests.

Getting breather Sunday
Torkelson is not starting Sunday versus Cleveland.
Analyse
Torkelson will get at least part of the day off his feet while Colt Keith gets a chance to start at first base and Riley Greene takes a turn at DH. Torkelson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Saturday to snap a modest four-game hitting streak.

Goes yard in Friday's matinee
Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
Analyse
The slugging first baseman took Slade Cecconi deep in the third inning of the matinee, his second straight game with a long ball. Torkelson's recent power display snapped a homer drought that stretched back to July 31, but he's been able to stay somewhat productive during that span -- including a 1-for-4 showing in Friday's nightcap, he sports a .272/.364/.388 slash line over his last 31 contests with 10 runs and 12 RBI.
