Tigers prospects Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene earn spots in Futures Game

Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene are not only the Detroit Tigers' two top prospects, they're proving to be two of the best in the game.

The latest proof: Torkelson and Greene landed spots on the American League team for the Futures Game on July 11, which is part of All-Star festivities at Coors Field in Denver.

Spencer Torkelson, the Tigers' No. 1 overall draft pick from last June, will play in the Futures Game next month.

Torkelson, a first baseman/third baseman ranked No. 3 overall by MLB Pipeline and No. 5 by Baseball America, is hitting a combined .290 with eight home runs, 37 RBIs and a .949 OPS between Single-A West Michigan and Double-A Erie — his first full professional season since the Tigers selected him No.
