Gleyber Torres Expected To Hit In The Top Half Of The Lineup
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres is expected to hit in the top half of the lineup and have a significant role in the offense. In addition, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reported that Torres has been the lone player taking reps at the keystone during the start of the week. Earlier in the offseason, the Tigers signed the 28-year-old to a one-year $15 million contract. However, given this update, fantasy managers should expect Torres to bat in a favorable position for his fantasy outlook. Last season, Torres was penciled in the leadoff spot 56 times and 30 times in the five-hole. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor where the Tigers deploy Torres in spring training. If given an opportunity to be the leadoff hitter, he could carry a high-scoring upside. He is a solid middle infield target in deeper formats, as he could tally a high amount of counting stats with an everyday role in the Detroit starting nine.
