Spencer Torkelson Returns to Tigers Lineup After Forearm Scare

Spencer Torkelson returns to action Thursday, starting at first base and batting cleanup for the Tigers against the Yankees. Torkelson was removed from a simulated game Tuesday after being struck on the right forearm by a pitch, but he successfully avoided fractures. He returns to the field looking to build on his spring performance, where he has recorded four hits, including two doubles, across 19 at-bats.
