It looks like Spencer Torkelson’s stint in the 2021 Arizona Fall League is over.
Torkelson suffered a sprained an ankle a game Wednesday and will likely not play again before the AFL season closes next month, a Tigers source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed.
Torkelson was the MLB Draft’s first-overall pick in 2020 and had a huge first full season on the Tigers farm, joining outfielder Riley Greene as a prospect perhaps headed for regular work in Detroit in 2022.
Torkelson was batting .450 in seven games for the AFL’s Salt River Rafters, with nine hits in 20 at-bats, including two doubles.
