Jun 30 2025Torrens went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He supplied the Mets' only offense on the afternoon with his fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows. It was Torrens' first multi-hit performance since taking over from a demoted Francisco Alvarez as New York's No. 1 catcher, and his first long ball since March 31. On the season, Torrens is slashing .222/.296/.340 with two homers and 14 RBI in 51 contests.
Jun 27 2025Torrens is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was expected to take over starting catcher duties after Francisco Alvarez was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse. Torrens made three straight starts after the move, but it's been Hayden Senger behind the dish in two of the Mets' last three contests. Torrens is 4-for-45 (.089) with 11 strikeouts in June.
Jun 25 2025Torrens is absent from the lineup for Wednesday contest versus Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens started each of the first three games after Francisco Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, but he'll get a day off Wednesday. Hayden Senger will handle catching duties for the Mets.
Jun 22 2025Torrens is expected to take over as the Mets' No. 1 catcher after Francisco Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. He'll be behind the plate and bat sixth for Sunday's series finale in Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has served as New York's backup catcher since Alvarez was cleared for his season debut in late April, but the latter has been demoted due to his offensive struggles. Torrens has delivered a .232/.309/.344 slash line and strong defense, but he likely won't have much fantasy appeal outside of two-catcher formats.
Jun 12 2025Torrens is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens had started behind the plate in three of the Mets' last four contests, but his opportunities are expected to take a hit moving forward with Francisco Alvarez (personal) making his return from the paternity list Thursday. Alvarez will be thrown right back into the lineup for the series finale versus Washington, starting at catcher and batting ninth.
Jun 11 2025Torrens will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will get his third start behind the plate in four games, but he'll see his playing time dip once Francisco Alvarez (personal) returns from the paternity list, likely no later than Friday. The 29-year-old has been productive enough when called upon this season, slashing .241/.328/.370 with a home run and 13 RBI over 122 plate appearances.
May 22 2025Torrens went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old catcher has started seven of 19 games in May, hitting safely in the last five while batting. 300 (6-for-20) on the month. Torrens hasn't provided much other production, supplying just one RBI and two runs over that stretch, but half his hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles and a triple) and he sports a 7:4 BB:K. Francisco Alvarez is entrenched as the Mets' starter behind the plate, but Torrens' workload and current form still give him some fantasy value in deep NL-only formats.
May 14 2025Torrens (groin) is starting behind home plate and batting sixth against the Pirates on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens suffered a groin injury during Sunday's win over the Cubs, but with two days rest he's back in the Mets' lineup Wednesday. He is slashing .247/.313/.425 with four runs scored, one home run and 11 RBI over 80 plate appearances this season.
May 11 2025Torrens (groin) exited Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning after being struck by a foul ball, John Sparaco of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was hit in the groin area by a foul ball off the bat of Kyle Tucker in the top of the sixth inning, fortunately avoiding what could have been a rather significant injury. The catcher was replaced by Francisco Alvarez behind the plate, and Torrens can be considered day-to-day for the time being.
Apr 16 2025Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will cede catching duties to Hayden Senger while the Mets wrap up their series in Minnesota with a day game after a night game. When healthy, Torrens has served as the Mets' No. 1 backstop this season and has produced an .825 OPS over 40 plate appearances, but he'll move into the backup role in the near future with Francisco Alvarez (hand) in the midst of a rehab assignment and closing in on a return from the 10-day injured list.
Apr 14 2025Torrens went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens opened up the scoring with an RBI base knock in the sixth and added on more with an RBI-double in the ninth. He's been productive as the Mets' top option behind the dish while Francisco Alvarez (hand) has been sidelined to begin the season, slashing .333/.375/.567 with a home run, five RBI, two runs and a 2:7 BB:K in 32 plate appearances. However, with Alvarez currently in the midst of a rehab assignment and perhaps in line to return from the IL during the upcoming week, Torrens will soon be headed to a reserve role.
Apr 12 2025Torrens is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went 1-for-5 with an RBI and three strikeouts in his return from a forearm injury that caused him to miss four games. Hayden Senger will take his place behind the dish Saturday and bat ninth.
Apr 11 2025Torrens (forearm) will start at catcher and bat eighth Friday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has been held out of the Mets' last four games due to a bruised forearm, but he now appears to be fully healed and ready to return behind the dish. The 28-year-old is off to a strong start this year, going 6-for-20 with a homer and two RBI through eight games.
Apr 9 2025Torrens (forearm) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens hasn't started a game since Friday due to a right forearm bruise. An MRI Tuesday came back negative, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, and the Mets have no plans at this point to place him on the 10-day injured list, so Torrens will aim to return to action Friday versus the Athletics following the Mets' team off day Thursday. Hayden Senger will catch and bat ninth Wednesday.
Apr 8 2025Torrens (forearm) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hayden Senger will pick up a fourth consecutive start while Torrens gets another day off to recover from a right forearm bruise. Torrens made an appearance off the bench Friday, and the Mets haven't added another healthy catcher to the roster, so for the time being, the 28-year-old doesn't look as though he'll require a stint on the injured list.
Apr 7 2025Torrens (forearm) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be on the bench for the third game in a row while he gets more time to recover from a right forearm contusion. Hayden Senger will get another turn behind the dish, but the Mets' willingness to use Torrens off the bench in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays suggests that he'll be ready to return to the starting lineup soon.
Apr 6 2025Torrens (forearm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was scratched from the lineup Saturday due to a forearm contusion and will sit for a second straight game Sunday. Hayden Senger will receive another start behind the plate for the Mets.
Apr 5 2025Torrens was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against Toronto due to a right forearm contusion, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was originally slated to start behind the plate, but the forearm issue will keep him out of the lineup. In his place, Hayden Senger will start at catcher and bat ninth.
Apr 2 2025Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will get his first day off of the season after he started behind the plate in each of the Mets' first five games while going 4-for-14 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and two RBI. Hayden Senger will form a battery with starting pitcher Clay Holmes on Wednesday, but Torrens should see the bulk of the starts at catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.
Mar 31 2025Torrens went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-4 win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After an umpire review, Torrens recorded his first homer of the season during a seven-run fifth inning for the Mets. The 28-year-old backstop is hitting .364 (4-for-11) with the aforementioned long ball thus far, and he should remain New York's primary catcher until Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to come off the injured list.
Mar 11 2025Torrens went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old took Sonny Gray deep the other way in the second inning for his first long ball of the spring. Torrens is set to open the season as the Mets' starting catcher with Francisco Alvarez (hand) on the shelf until at least late April, but there's little reason to expect him to make an impact with regular playing time -- his .229/.292/.373 slash line over 130 regular-season plate appearances in 2024 was very similar to his .227/.289/.356 career line.
Mar 9 2025Torrens is expected to start the season as the Mets' No. 1 catcher after Francisco Alvarez was diagnosed with a hand fracture Sunday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alvarez is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery Monday, creating a hole behind the plate for the Mets. Barring an outside addition, Torrens will be the primary beneficiary of the injury after he posted a .229/.292/.373 slash line over 48 regular-season games in Queens last year. Jakson Reetz and Chris Williams are the top internal options to fill the backup job, but neither player is on the 40-man roster.
Jan 9 2025The Mets and Torrens avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was eligible for arbitration for the second time. He's slated to open the 2025 season as the Mets' backup catcher behind Francisco Alvarez.
Sep 1 2024Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With top backstop Francisco Alvarez receiving a routine maintenance day, Torrens will step in behind the dish. Since being acquired from the Yankees on May 31, Torrens has appeared in 35 games (28 starts) for the Mets, logging a .250/.311/.406 slash line with three home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs.
Jul 30 2024Torrens went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in Monday's rout of the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start behind the plate and batting eighth with Francisco Alvarez nursing a sore shoulder, Torrens did most of his damage with a two-run double in the seventh inning. Alvarez isn't expected to miss much action, but Torrens has demonstrated he's more than capable of filling in should the Mets decide their starting catcher needs a bit more time off. Through 72 plate appearances since joining the team, Torrens is slashing .308/.361/.538 with six doubles, three homers and 13 RBI.
Jul 7 2024Torrens went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the nod behind the plate after Francisco Alvarez took a Paul Skenes fastball off his elbow Friday, Torrens opened the scoring with a bases-loaded double in the third inning. He hasn't fallen out of the game plan completely since Alvarez returned from the injured list about a month ago -- Torrens has started four of the last seven games, three at catcher and one at DH, and manager Carlos Mendoza will likely continue to find way to get him into the lineup given his .317/.364/.610 slash line with three homers in 44 plate appearances since joining the Mets.
Jun 24 2024The Mets reinstated Torrens (personal) from the paternity list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was away from the Mets during their weekend series with the Cubs while he welcomed a new addition to his family. He'll be available Tuesday for the start of the Mets' two-game set with the Yankees and will assume duties as Francisco Alvarez's top backup behind the dish. Joe Hudson was designated for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Torrens.
Jun 21 2024The Mets placed Torrens on the paternity leave list Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will likely miss the weekend series versus the Cubs while he welcomes a new baby to the family. Joe Hudson will fill his roster spot.
Jun 20 2024The Mets will place Torrens on the paternity list prior to Friday's game against the Cubs, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens should miss the full three-game set in Chicago before rejoining the roster next Tuesday for the beginning of a homestand. Joe Hudson will take Torrens' roster spot.
Jun 17 2024Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing the team he made his big-league debut with back in 2017, Torrens took Jeremiah Estrada deep in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old catcher has started his Mets tenure off with a bang, batting .318 (7-for-22) in his first eight games for the club with three homers, but he remains firmly in the backup role behind Francisco Alvarez.
Jun 12 2024Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will take a seat for the second day in a row after closing out the weekend with his third consecutive start, but the 28-year-old journeyman has performed well enough since joining the team May 31 to stick around with the big club over fellow backstop Tomas Nido, who was designated for assignment Tuesday. Francisco Alvarez came off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and should see the bulk of the starts at catcher moving forward, even though Torrens has produced three extra-base hits through his first 18 plate appearances with the Mets.
Jun 6 2024Torrens went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The backstop took Patrick Corbin deep in the third and sixth innings as he produced his first multi-homer game in the majors in nearly three years. Torrens has started three of four games since joining the Mets, going 3-for-10 with his third hit being a double, and the 28-year-old is making a strong case to stick around as the No. 2 catcher instead of Tomas Nido when Francisco Alvarez (thumb) comes off the IL next week.
May 31 2024The Mets acquired Torrens from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and purchased his contract from Triple-A Syracuse, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets have designated Omar Narvaez for assignment and will replace him with Torrens. The 28-year-old has hit .279/.339/.468 with five home runs this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Torrens should back up Tomas Nido for the time being but might only be around until Francisco Alvarez (thumb) returns.
Nov 3 2023Torrens elected to become a free agent Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was pushed off the Mariners' 40-man roster Tuesday and opted to reject an outright assignment to Triple-A Tacoma. He's a career .227/.289/.354 hitter in 807 major-league plate appearances, but the 27-year-old could get a look as catching depth with some other organization.
Oct 31 2023Seattle sent Torrens outright to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens drew only 30 major-league plate appearances this season between the Cubs and Mariners. The 27-year-old catcher is a .227/.289/.354 hitter in 269 career games at the big-league level.
Sep 12 2023The Mariners selected Torrens' contract from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Tuesday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has spent the majority of the past few seasons as a member of the Mariners organization, and he'll return to the big leagues after getting released by the Nationals in July and signing a minor-league deal with Seattle a couple weeks ago. Brian O'Keefe was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move, so Torrens could be sent back to Triple-A in a few days after O'Keefe rejoins the club.
Aug 30 2023Torrens signed a minor-league contract Wednesday with the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has reported to Triple-A Tacoma and will serve as organizational depth at catcher down the stretch. The 27-year-old slashed .239/.297/.388 in 181 major-league games for Seattle between 2020-2022. He had brief stints earlier this summer with the Cubs and the Triple-A affiliate of the Nationals.
May 9 2023The Orioles designated Torrens for assignment Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Baltimore just acquired Torrens from the Cubs last week in exchange for cash considerations, but he's now been removed from both the 26-man and 40-man rosters. The 27-year-old catcher did not appear in a game during his short time with the O's.
May 3 2023The Orioles acquired Torrens from the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will move on to the fifth different organization of his career after the Cubs designated him for assignment last week. Since the 27-year-old journeyman catcher doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, he'll eventually have to be added to the Orioles' 26-man active roster. Once activated, Torrens will serve as a No. 3 backstop behind Adley Rutschman and James McCann, and as a possible depth option at first base or designated hitter.
Apr 28 2023Torrens was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens put together a .618 OPS across 22 plate appearances and will serve as the team's roster casualty following the reinstatement of Cody Bellinger from the paternity list Friday. The 26-year-old backstop could draw interest from teams in search of organizational depth behind the plate.
Apr 2 2023Torrens is the designated hitter and batting eighth for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has shown a propensity for hitting southpaws better than righties throughout his career, and he could see regular playing time against left-handed pitching if he gets off to a strong start to begin 2023. It's his first time in the starting lineup as a member of the Cubs.
Mar 8 2023Torrens went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The power display was a bit unexpected, as Torrens had only three home runs in 151 at-bats with Seattle last season. However, the veteran backstop did go deep 15 times in 2021, so he has shown off some pop in his career. Torrens is likely third in Chicago's catching pecking order behind Yan Gomes and Tucker Barnhart, so his fantasy value will be limited unless he's able to move up the depth chart. He's on a minor-league deal and could start the year with Triple-A Iowa, though the Cubs may decide to carry three catchers in the early going.
Jan 25 2023Torrens signed Wednesday with the Cubs on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to MLB spring training. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cubs will enter spring training with veterans Yan Gomes and Tucker Barnhart entrenched as the team's top two backstops, but Torrens could have an opportunity to break camp with the big club if Chicago elects to carry three catchers into Opening Day or if Gomes or Barnhart succumbs to an injury. Torrens logged 166 plate appearances in the big leagues with the Mariners in 2022, slashing .225/.283/.298 with three home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs.
Nov 18 2022The Mariners declined to tender Torrens a contract for 2023, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With that, Torrens is now a free agent. He took a sizable step backward at the plate last season, with his OPS falling nearly 150 points to .581.
Oct 6 2022Torrens went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens put Seattle on top 4-3 with a homer off lefty starter Tyler Alexander with one out in the sixth inning. The catcher particularly struggled in road games during 2022, posting a .525 OPS over 84 plate appearances compared to a .638 OPS over 82 plate appearances at home.
Sep 22 2022Torrens, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, hit a pinch-hit solo home run in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran was summoned to hit for Abraham Toro with two out in the eighth inning and put the Mariners' only run of the game on the board via a 376-foot solo shot to right field. Torrens hit well for the Rainiers after he was outrighted to the Triple-A club on Aug. 14, and Wednesday's homer pushed his major-league slash line to .220/.268/.280 across 142 plate appearances.
Sep 21 2022Torrens' contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was cast off the Mariners' 40-man roster in mid-August and slashed .279/.324/.508 with three home runs, five doubles, 15 RBI and seven runs over 16 games in the minors following his demotion. He'll provide additional catching depth for the Mariners since Cal Raleigh (thumb) is day-to-day.
Aug 14 2022Torrens cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was designated for assignment Thursday but will remain in the organization after he went unclaimed on waivers. He hit .214 with a home run, 10 RBI and nine runs over 46 games during his time with the majors to begin the season.
Aug 11 2022Torrens was designated for assignment Thursday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens showed flashes at the plate in 2021, but he struggled to a .214/.262/.252 line across 141 plate appearances prior to losing his roster spot this season. Curt Casali -- whom the Mariners acquired at the trade deadline -- was activated from the injured list in the corresponding move and should serve as the backup catcher.
Aug 7 2022Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during a loss to the Angels in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran squared up for a 405-foot shot to right field off Reid Detmers in the fifth inning, his first home run since Sept. 23 of last season. Torrens' multi-hit effort was also his first since June 10, as he's spent time on the injured list with a shoulder issue and also lost out on plenty of playing time to Cal Raleigh behind the dish since then.
Aug 2 2022Torrens has logged just 12 plate appearances across six games since being activated from the injured list July 9. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens had started in three of the last four games before his placement on the IL due to a shoulder injury, but the Mariners have given Cal Raleigh the bulk of playing time behind the dish in recent weeks. Even the Mariners' current rash of injuries to other position players hasn't served to open up much opportunity at designated hitter for Torrens, who's carrying a .208/.262/.225 slash line over 42 games this season.
Jul 9 2022Torrens (shoulder) was activated off the injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Shoulder inflammation had kept Torrens sidelined since late June, but he's ready to go after just a single rehab game. He'll back up Cal Raleigh behind the plate, with Andrew Knapp getting designated for assignment to clear a roster spot.
Jul 8 2022Torrens (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has been on the injured list since June 27 but took batting practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Blue Jays. Since he's returning to game action in the minors Friday, it seems likely that he'll be able to return from the IL this weekend or early next week.
Jul 7 2022Manager Scott Servais said Thursday that Torrens (shoulder) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens took early batting practice prior to Thursday's game against the Blue Jays and is close to returning to game action with a minor-league affiliate. If he's able to begin a rehab assignment in the coming days, it's possible that he'll be cleared to rejoin the Mariners shortly before the All-Star break.
Jun 27 2022Torrens was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The exact nature and severity of the injury is unclear, but it apparently occurred during Sunday's benches-clearing brawl against the Angels. Andrew Knapp was called up to fill Torrens' spot as the backup catcher behind Cal Raleigh.
Jun 24 2022Torrens, who went 1-for-3 in a win over the Athletics on Thursday, is now hitting .294 (5-for-17) over his last five games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The beginning of that stretch actually dates back to June 12, as Torrens continues to see only intermittent playing time while Cal Raleigh sees his opportunities expand behind the dish. With the news Tom Murphy (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season, however, Torrens should be assured of at least a serviceable amount of opportunity for the balance of the campaign.
Jun 3 2022Torrens went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and one run scored in Thursday's victory over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens singled in each of his first three at-bats, including an RBI knock in the sixth off Orioles reliever Joey Krehbiel. It was the catcher's third multi-hit game and first three-hit game of the season. Torrens is currently slashing .222/.289/.524 and is battling for playing time with Cal Raleigh.
May 25 2022Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll be included in the lineup for the series finale, Torrens seems to have slipped behind Cal Raleigh on the depth chart at catcher. Torrens will be starting Wednesday for only the fourth time in nine games, with one of those starts coming as a designated hitter.
May 22 2022Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has a .467 OPS and 34 percent strikeout rate through 14 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday. Cal Raleigh will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.
May 20 2022Torrens is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will take a seat Friday for the third time in the past four games. Cal Raleigh will receive the start behind the plate, forming a battery with Robbie Ray.
May 18 2022Torrens isn't starting Wednesday against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens recently had a string of six consecutive starts in which he hit .263 with two runs, three walks and seven strikeouts, but he'll now retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Cal Raleigh will start behind the plate and bat ninth.
May 17 2022Torrens will sit Tuesday against Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens hits the bench for the second time in three games, a run which follows a stretch of six straight starts, including two as the designated hitter. Mike Ford will fill that spot Tuesday, while Cal Raleigh starts behind the plate.
May 15 2022Torrens is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was on base four times Saturday via two singles and two walks, but he's still hitting .194 with zero home runs and nine strikeouts in 10 games this month. Cal Raleigh gets the start at catcher, batting ninth.
May 11 2022Torrens went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Phillies on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The previously struggling backstop snapped out of a multi-game slump with his first multi-hit effort of the season. Torrens had hit just .087 (2-for-23) with nine strikeouts over the previous seven games, so Tuesday's productive outing only served to lift his season slash line to .191/.220/.213.
May 8 2022Torrens will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens sat out the Mariners' last two games, but with Tom Murphy (shoulder) moving to the 10-day injured list Saturday, the former is likely well positioned to maintain the top spot on the depth chart at catcher. The Mariners called up Cal Raleigh from Triple-A Tacoma to provide another body at the position, but he's unlikely to get a long look as the No. 1 option after slashing .077/.226/.192 through his first 31 plate appearances in the big leagues this season.
May 7 2022Torrens remains on the bench Saturday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens theoretically has a clearer path to playing time behind the plate with Tom Murphy (shoulder) out with a dislocated shoulder. That won't be the case Saturday, however, as he'll sit for the second straight game with Cal Raleigh set to catch Marco Gonzales.
May 6 2022Torrens isn't starting Friday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will get a breather after he went 0-for-7 with a strikeout over the last two games. Tom Murphy will start behind the dish and bat ninth.
May 3 2022Torrens is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will head to the bench after a stretch of four starts in five days, with three of those turns coming behind the plate. Tom Murphy will handle catching duties Tuesday, but Torrens may be ahead of him in the pecking order for the time being.
May 1 2022Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will head to the bench after drawing three consecutive starts, two of which came behind the plate. He went 2-for-10 with a double and four RBI over that stretch and may have the early edge on the No. 1 catcher's job over Tom Murphy, who will be behind the plate for the series finale in Miami.
Apr 30 2022Torrens went 1-for-3 with a three-run double and an RBI sacrifice fly in a loss to the Marlins on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens emptied the bases with his timely second-inning two-bagger, plating Jarred Kelenic, Abraham Toro and J.P. Crawford. His ninth-inning sac fly then drove home Julio Rodriguez, giving Torrens his first four RBI of the season. The 25-year-old has made three appearances since returning from the COVID-19 injured list, going 2-for-8 with three strikeouts during that span.
Apr 25 2022The Mariners reinstated Torrens from the COVID-19 injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Seattle designated first baseman Mike Ford for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster for Torrens, who was inactive for six days after landing on the IL. Torrens drew three starts at catcher and one at designated hitter over Seattle's first 10 games, going 3-for-13 at the plate with a walk and two runs.
Apr 19 2022Torrens (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was absent from Tuesday's lineup and is now away from the team. It's unclear whether or not the 25-year-old tested positive for the virus, but he won't be back until he clears the COVID-19 protocols. Cal Raleigh and Tom Murphy should continue to split work behind the plate for the Mariners in his absence.
Apr 11 2022Torrens started at catcher in a loss to the Twins on Sunday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and a run. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cal Raleigh and Tom Murphy took their turns behind the dish Friday and Saturday, respectively, and Torrens completed the three-man rotation with a start in Sunday's loss. The 25-year-old figures to also see his fair share of time at designated hitter over the course of the season, and his ability to reach safely twice in his first game represented a carryover of a hot Cactus League that saw Torrens hit .406 with two doubles, a home run and six RBI across 13 games.
Mar 26 2022Torrens, who went 2-for-3 with a run in a Cactus League tie against the Brewers on Saturday, is hitting .500 (6-for-12) with a double, an RBI and two runs over his first five exhibitions. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens signed a one-year deal to avoid arbitration on Wednesday and seems to be building plenty of momentum ahead of the fast-approaching start to the regular season. The 25-year-old made good use of his most extensive playing time in the majors yet last season, slugging 15 home runs and 33 extra-base hits overall across 378 plate appearances. With Tom Murphy and Cal Raleigh potentially set to absorb the majority of catching opportunities, Torrens could log plenty of time at designated hitter to open the season.
Oct 4 2021Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens doubled off Reid Detmers to lead off the second inning. He scored later in that inning and in the sixth frame. He batted .308 over his final six games, with three runs scored. The 25-year-old finished the season with a .243/.299/.431 slash line, including 15 long balls, 47 RBI and 39 runs scored in 378 plate appearances.
Oct 2 2021Torrens went 1-for-4 with a triple in a loss to the Angels on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens reached safely for the third time in the last four games with his second triple of the season, which was one of the few offensive bright spots for the Mariners in the disappointing loss. Torrens is wrapping up the regular season in fine fashion at the plate, as he's hit .354 (23-for-65) with three doubles, Friday's three-bagger, a home run, eight RBI, two walks and eight runs across his last 22 games.
Sep 28 2021Torrens went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 13-4 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After driving in only two runs over a 19-game stretch between Aug. 29 and Sept. 20, Torrens has turned into a run-producing machine over the past week. He's accumulated six RBI during that time, allowing him to strengthen his hold on the Mariners' primary designated-hitter role.
Sep 26 2021Torrens is on the bench for Sunday's series finale in Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is hitting .300 with a home run and five RBI in his last 10 games after a hitless showing Saturday. Mitch Haniger is the designated hitter Sunday while Jake Bauers gets a start in right field.
Sep 23 2021Torrens hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat Thursday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens wasn't in the starting lineup Thursday, though he took advantage of his opportunity as a pinch hitter. He went yard against Jake Diekman in the sixth inning to record his 15th homer of the season. Prior to this long ball, Torrens had failed to go deep across his last 80 at-bats since Aug. 17. Overall, Torrens is hitting .236/.299/.431 across 345 plate appearances for the season.
Sep 21 2021Torrens is not starting Tuesday against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll sit for the second time in three games after going 0-for-4 in Monday's series opener. Mitch Haniger will serve as the DH as Jake Bauers mans right field Tuesday.
Sep 19 2021Torrens is out of the lineup Sunday at Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has an .883 OPS in his past 13 games and will receive a day off after making three straight starts. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Jake Bauers starts in right field.

Sep 6 2021Torrens will not start Monday against Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens remains the Mariners' primary designated hitter despite the fact that he's hitting a mediocre .223/.290/.431 on the season. Jose Marmolejos, who's hitting a considerably worse .151/.259/.312, will take over in that spot Monday.
Sep 4 2021Torrens will not start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has emerged as the Mariners' regular designated hitter, but that spot isn't available under National League rules. He'll sit for the second straight game Saturday and will likely remain on the bench Sunday unless the Mariners give him a start behind the plate or at first base.
Aug 31 2021Torrens is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is in the midst of a strong seven-game stretch at the plate in which he's gone 8-for-25 with four doubles, seven RBI, four walks and one run scored. He'll get a breather Tuesday as Mitch Haniger shifts to DH.
Aug 29 2021Torrens went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk in a loss to the Royals on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The backstop's ninth-inning two-bagger plated Mitch Haniger to give the Mariners a sliver of hope before Seattle fell short for the third straight game against Kansas City. Torrens still sports just a .223 average and .292 on-base percentage heading into Sunday's series finale, but he now carries a five-game hitting streak during which he's impressively knocked in seven runs.
Aug 28 2021Torrens went 1-for-3 with a double, four RBI and two walks in Friday's loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens took advantage of seeing plenty of traffic on the basepaths, plating two with a double in the first inning, then pushing in another run with a bases-loaded walk in the second before belting a sacrifice fly in the 10th. During a modest four-game hitting streak, he is batting .357 (5-for-14) with two doubles and six RBI.
Aug 26 2021Torrens isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will be on the bench for the second time in the last three games after he went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run and a strikeout Tuesday. Jake Bauers will serve as the designated hitter and bat ninth.
Aug 23 2021Torrens will sit for Monday's game against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has been the Mariners' primary designated hitter throughout the second half, though he doesn't exactly have the stereotypical bat for the position. In 271 plate appearances this season, he's hit .211/.277/.421. Mitch Haniger will fill that role Monday, with Jake Bauers taking Haniger's usual spot in right field.
Aug 19 2021Torrens isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens drew starts in each of the last five games, but he'll get a day off after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Wednesday. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter and bat second.
Aug 18 2021Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens took Brett Martin deep in the ninth inning to increase the Mariners' lead to two runs. It was his second home run in three games and he rides a five-game hitting streak in which he has seven RBI in that span. The catcher is slashing .220/.286/.444 with 14 long balls, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored in 255 plate appearances.
Aug 15 2021Torrens went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI in a victory versus Toronto on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens drove in over half of Seattle's runs in the contest, with the big blow coming on a seventh-inning three-run homer that gave the Mariners a lead they did not relinquish. His eighth-inning two-run double provided some final insurance for Seattle and helped Torrens establish a single-game career high with five RBI. He has reached base safely in five of his past six games, going 5-for-19 over that stretch.
Aug 12 2021Torrens remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will be out of the lineup for a second straight game after he went 2-for-22 with a run, an RBI, a walk and nine strikeouts across his last seven appearances. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Dylan Moore enters the lineup in left field.
Aug 11 2021Torrens is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is mired in a 1-for-20 slump and will take a seat for the second time in the past three games. Jake Bauers will bat ninth as the designated hitter in his place Wednesday.
Aug 8 2021Torrens is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens started the past four contests and will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-12 with a walk, a run and five strikeouts during that span. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Jake Bauers starts in right field.
Aug 3 2021Torrens is on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts Monday, lowering his average to .189 in the last 10 games. Torrens has hit two home runs and drawn five walks in that span, though. Ty France will be the designated hitter Tuesday, with Jake Bauers getting a start at first base.
Aug 1 2021Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cal Raleigh is catching, Ty France is playing first base and Mitch Haniger is serving as the designated hitter in the series finale, closing off all of Torrens' avenues to the lineup. The 25-year-old has supplied a .758 OPS since the All-Star break and should still have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role.
Jul 28 2021Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Tom Murphy getting the nod behind the plate, Mitch Haniger serving as the Mariners' designated hitter and Ty France starting at first base, Torrens will take a seat for the first time since July 20 with all three of his avenues to playing time being blocked for the afternoon. During his streak of seven consecutive starts, Torrens went 5-for-25 with a pair of home runs and three RBI. He still looks to have a steady hold on a near-everyday role, though he could be at risk of losing out on some work with the recent addition of Abraham Toro.
Jul 24 2021Torrens went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went back-to-back with Cal Raleigh in the second inning to give the Mariners an early 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old has now hit three home runs over his last five games and has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 contests. His improvement at the plate is allowing him to become a regular fixture in the lineup after not being an everyday player earlier in the season. Torrens is slashing .225/.293/.480 with 12 homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs scored and a 16:50 BB:K over 191 appearances.
Jul 22 2021Torrens went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The M's only managed five hits on the afternoon against Austin Gomber and the Colorado bullpen, but three of them were solo shots. Torrens' bat has kept him in the lineup even after the promotion of catching prospect Cal Raleigh -- he got the start at first base Wednesday, the first time Torrens has played the position in his big-league career, and through 13 games in July the 25-year-old is slashing .300/.429/.650 with four of his 11 homers on the year.
Jul 20 2021Torrens is not starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has done well while serving as the Mariners' primary DH of late, going 7-for-24 with a triple, homer and three RBI across his last seven games. He won't be able to start Tuesday with the club losing its DH but figures to be a top option off the bench.
Jul 18 2021Torrens went 1-for-3 with his 10th home run of the season and a walk Sunday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens got his fourth straight start as the designated hitter and took Patrick Sandoval deep to center field in the fourth inning, giving the Mariners a 3-0 cushion. The 25-year-old Torrens has carved out consistent playing time in recent weeks and is hitting .277 with three round trippers in 11 games since the start of July.
Jul 11 2021Torrens, who was out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels and went 2-for-3 with an RBI triple and a walk in Saturday's win, hit .350 (7-for-20) with the three-bagger, two home runs, five RBI, seven walks and four runs across the last seven games of the first half. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The hot-hitting backstop reached safely in all seven of those contests as well, and factoring in Saturday's three-bagger and the pair of round trippers he belted during that stretch, he's now laced exactly half of his 32 hits this season for extra bases. That's helped lead to a .462 slugging percentage, a particularly appealing figure for a part-time catcher.
Jul 7 2021Torrens is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has hit .179 and tallied eight RBI in his last eight games, with four of his five hits being home runs. Tom Murphy gets a start at catcher Wednesday.
Jul 5 2021Torrens went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens slammed a three-run bomb in the fourth inning off Mike Foltynewicz to open up a 3-0 lead. The catcher has hit home runs in back-to-back games, although he is batting just .179 over his last eight games. On the season, he is slashing .209/.267/.455 with nine long balls and 19 RBI in 146 plate appearances. The 25-year-old is in a fairly even timeshare behind the plate with Tom Murphy.
Jul 3 2021Torrens isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens had started in each of the last four games, and he went 2-for-15 with a solo home run, two runs scored, an RBI and three walks. Tom Murphy will take his place behind the dish and bat eighth.
Jun 25 2021Torrens went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the second inning off White Sox starter Carlos Rodon. Torrens added another two-run homer in the seventh off reliever Zack Burdi. Torrens has gone on a power surge lately with five of his six home runs on the season in his last seven games. He's added 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles across 121 plate appearances this year.
Jun 21 2021Torrens went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was the only Mariner to get to Shane McClanahan on Sunday when he began the third by taking the rookie left-hander deep to center for an early 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old has three homers in five games since returning from Triple-A Tacoma on June 15. For the season, he's slashing .217/.257/.415 with five long balls, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. Torrens currently appears to be in a timeshare behind the plate with Tom Murphy but could eventually gain an edge if he continues his hitting surge moving forward.
Jun 19 2021Torrens went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run-scoring infield hit in a win over the Rays on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has now rapped out two hits in each of his last three starts, slugging a pair of home runs during that stretch as well. If the 25-year-old continues to serve as a surprising source of offense, he could eventually make at least some additional inroads into fellow backstop Tom Murphy's playing time.
Jun 18 2021Torrens, who went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a win over the Rays on Thursday, has three extra-base hits over his last two starts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The backup catcher now also has one less obstacle to playing time with the optioning of Jose Godoy to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. Torrens has flashed some nice pop all season, having laced half of his 20 hits for extra bases.
Jun 16 2021Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens came out swinging in his first time in the lineup since May 18 after he was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. The 25-year-old singled his first time up then later homered to lead off the seventh inning. He was slashing just .178/.219/.300 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs scored before being sent down May 20 but is off to a good start in his second stint with the big league club. Torrens will still be sharing time behind the dish with Tom Murphy and Jose Godoy, which makes it difficult to trust him in any lineup.
Jun 15 2021Torrens is batting eighth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, and he'll get his first shot to rejoin the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against southpaw J.A. Happ. The 25-year-old backstop struggled in his initial opportunity with Seattle this season, slashing .178/.219/.300 across 96 plate appearances before being demoted May 20.
Jun 14 2021Torrens was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has been in the minors since May 20 after seeing a decline in playing time, but he'll get another chance following Monday's transaction. He's hitting .178 with two homers and six RBI in 29 contests this season.
May 20 2021Torrens was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens had lost out on consistent playing time recently after he went 0-for-16 with an RBI, a walk and eight strikeouts across his last five games. Tom Murphy should serve as the primary catcher going forward, while Jacob Nottingham could compete for playing time after he was claimed off waivers as part of a corresponding move.
May 12 2021Torrens is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday and will head to the bench for Wednesday's contest. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat sixth for the Mariners.
May 9 2021Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners' catching situation has turned into a true timeshare of late, with Tom Murphy now having picked up five starts behind the plate to Torrens' four over the past nine contests. Unless one of the two backstops starts performing dramatically better than the other, expect the status quo to remain in place for the foreseeable future.
May 8 2021Torrens went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-handed hitter hit a home run in the eight inning to give the Mariners a 7-6 lead. It was the second dinger for the young catcher and he is now slashing .216/.256/.365 in 2021.
May 7 2021Torrens is not in the lineup Friday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is 6-for-16 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and three runs over his past four games but nonetheless finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest. Tom Murphy will receive another start at catcher Friday for Seattle.
May 5 2021Torrens isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout Tuesday and continues to alternate starts at catcher. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat fifth.
May 3 2021Torrens isn't starting Monday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went 1-for-3 with a double and a run Sunday, but he continues to alternate starts behind the dish. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat eighth.
May 1 2021Torrens isn't starting Saturday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has gone 3-for-12 with two extra-base hits, three RBI and two runs in his last three games, but he continues to alternate starts behind the dish. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat eighth.
Apr 29 2021Torrens isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs in Wednesday's loss, but he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last five games. Tom Murphy will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.
Apr 25 2021Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will be getting a breather as Seattle concludes its series in Boston with a day game. Tom Murphy replaces Torrens behind the plate and will bat eighth.
Apr 23 2021Torrens is not in the lineup Friday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old and Tom Murphy have alternated starts over the past week, and that trend will continue Friday after Torrens went 0-for-2 with a walk during Thursday's series opener.
Apr 18 2021Torrens is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens started Saturday and went 0-for-3, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the third time in the past four games. Tom Murphy receives another start behind the plate for Seattle.
Apr 9 2021Torrens went 3-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Twins on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens' second two-bagger of the season helped push his season average to .333, with the 24-year-old having hit safely in three of his first four starts. Torrens and Tom Murphy project to continue splitting time behind the dish fairly evenly, with each logging the same number of starts thus far.
Apr 7 2021Torrens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Scott Servais hasn't named either Torrens or Murphy as the team's top catcher, but Torrens may be the preferred option at this point, based on how the starts have been distributed. While both Torrens and Murphy have now been in the lineup at catcher three times apiece, Torrens has made all three of his starts versus right-handed pitching, whereas Murphy has made only one of his three starts versus righties. If that pattern holds, Torrens will likely end up seeing the larger portion of work behind the plate over the balance of the season.
Mar 7 2021Torrens (finger) went 0-for-1 with an RBI sacrifice fly in a Cactus League tie with the Athletics on Saturday, his Cactus League debut. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is expected to see what has been estimated as about 45 percent of the playing time behind the dish as a platoon mate of Tom Murphy this coming season. The 24-year-old acquitted himself well after arriving via trade with the Padres last season and distinguished himself with a .300/.373/.500 line that included 39 extra-base hits and 62 RBI at Double-A Amarillo back in 2019.
Mar 6 2021Torrens (finger) is batting seventh and serving as the designated hitter in Saturday's spring game against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will make his spring debut Saturday after missing time due to a finger laceration early in camp. If all goes well Saturday, he could resume catching duties in the near future.
Mar 5 2021Manager Scott Servais said Torrens (finger) could receive a couple at-bats at designated hitter in Saturday's spring game against the A's, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old has yet to make his spring debut due to a finger laceration, but it appears he'll be on the field Saturday. If all goes well at the plate, Torrens is then expected to be worked into the catching rotation.
Mar 4 2021Torrens has been dealing with a cut on his finger but will make his spring debut over the weekend, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is expected to back up Tom Murphy this season, but the Mariners have estimated that he'll receive up to 45 percent of the starts behind the plate with Murphy coming off a season missed to injury. The delayed start to Torrens' spring shouldn't hurt him too much in that pursuit, as he'll still have several weeks to prepare for Opening Day.
Feb 20 2021Torrens (back) is slated to operate in a near-even timeshare with Tom Murphy behind the plate in 2021, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old has reportedly impressed manager Scott Servais with his knowledge of the pitching staff, and he turned in a serviceable .257/.325/.371 line with five doubles, one home run and six RBI across 78 plate appearances after arriving via trade from the Padres last season. Murphy is returning from missing all of the 2020 campaign with a fractured foot, and although the veteran is back to full health, the team is expected to manage his workload and give Torrens plenty of opportunities for playing time in the process.
Sep 27 2020Torrens was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with back spasms. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens has been withheld from the lineup in three of the past four games, and the back spasms could help explain his absence. Joe Hudson was promoted from the alternate site for catching depth.
Sep 26 2020Torrens is not in the lineup for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens went 0-for-4 in the first game of the day, though the Mariners likely wouldn't have asked him to catch twice on the same day regardless of how the afternoon game went. Joseph Odom will start behind the plate in his absence.
Sep 25 2020Torrens isn't in the lineup Friday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens recorded hits in four of the last five games, going 5-for-17 with two RBI, one run and five strikeouts during that time. Joseph Odom will start behind the dish in his place.

Sep 14 2020Torrens isn't starting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens will get the second game of the day off, making way for Joseph Odom to get the start behind the dish.
Sep 13 2020Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens had started the Mariners' previous five games behind the dish, so he was overdue for a day off. Joseph Odom will start at catcher in his stead.
Sep 9 2020Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Giants on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The recently acquired backstop, much like former Padres teammate and fellow trade-deadline arrival Ty France, is thriving in his new Seattle digs. Torrens has now hit safely in three straight games, with Tuesday's double marking his first extra-base hit in a Mariners uniform. Overall, Torrens has reached safely in all four games of his tenure with his new squad, scoring twice along the way.
Sep 5 2020Torrens went 0-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Rangers on Friday, a game that marked his Mariners debut. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A trade-deadline arrival, Torrens is slated to serve as the primary catcher for what remains of the regular season. The former Padres prospect was slashing .273/.333./.364 in San Diego before the trade and has shown some offensive upside during his time in the minors. Despite the relatively nondescript batting line, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports Torrens made an impression on manager Scott Servais in what was the Mariners' skipper's first chance to see him up close. "He's very athletic. He bounced out on a swinging bunt and handled that ball with no problem," Servais said. "I thought his hands were fine. He's catching pitchers he's never caught before, so you're catching a [Yusei] Kikuchi, and his ball is cutting and sinking and doing things like that, I thought he handled himself really good."
Sep 1 2020Torrens, who was acquired from the Padres on Sunday, is slated to serve as the primary catcher for the balance of the regular season, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens is considered an above-average defender behind the dish and solid hitter for a catcher, even as he's yet to have a chance to fully demonstrate the latter at the big-league level. Torrens was thrown into the fire by the Padres back in 2017 as a Rule 5 Draft rookie after not having yet played above Low-A ball, and he unsurprisingly limped to a .163/.243/.203 line across 56 games. However, Torrens slashed an impressive .300/.373/.500 with 15 home runs and 62 RBI over 97 games at Double-A Amarillo last season, and he's now expected to get the majority of the starts in September with Austin Nola having been shipped to San Diego. Torrens is presently undergoing COVID-19 testing protocol.
Aug 30 2020Torrens was traded from the Padres to the Mariners on Sunday as part of a seven-player trade, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens was recalled from the Padres' alternate training site in the middle of August and went 3-for-11 with a double and two strikeouts over seven games. He could compete for playing time with the major-league club in Seattle after the Mariners included Austin Nola as part of Sunday's trade.
Aug 17 2020Torrens was recalled from the Padres' alternate training site Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Padres were left with just one healthy catcher with Francisco Mejia (thumb) sidelined, so Torrens will serve as depth behind the plate while Mejia is on the 10-day injured list. Austin Hedges should see the majority of the time at catcher. Torrens made brief appearances in the majors during the 2017 and 2019 seasons, recording a .168/.250/.212 slash line with four doubles and seven RBI over 137 at-bats.
Jul 5 2020Torrens would "almost certainly" benefit if the Padres choose to carry three catchers on the active roster to begin the season, but manager Jayce Tingler remains noncommittal about that possibility, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There are multiple factors that will determine whether San Diego chooses to carry three catchers on its initial 30-man squad, not the least of which is the possibility of Francisco Mejia logging time as designated hitter. Should the Padres choose to use Mejia in that role, Torrens has a much more direct path to breaking camp with the big-league club. Should San Diego ultimately decide to carry only two backstops, Torrens will likely be part of the team's three-man taxi squad for road contests.
Sep 21 2019Torrens went 1-for-2 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A day after Torrens came off the bench and received two at-bats against Milwaukee, he was penciled in as the starter behind the plate against Arizona. The 23-year-old responded with a single and a walk, making him the only Padre to reach base twice in the contest. Torrens figures to receive additional opportunities to start down the stretch as San Diego seeks to evaluate the catching position in preparation for next season. Torrens could certainly be in the mix for a larger role in the majors in 2020 after hitting .300 with 15 homers and 62 RBI while throwing out 46 percent of would-be base stealers in 97 games with Double-A Amarillo this season.
Sep 16 2019Torrens was recalled by the Padres on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Torrens struggled greatly in his first taste of the big leagues back in 2017, hitting .163/.243/.203 in 56 games, though that's hardly a surprise for a 21-year-old plucked straight out of Low-A in the Rule 5 draft. Back an on age-appropriate schedule, he posted a strong .300/.373/.500 slash line for Double-A Amarillo this season. He should get a handful of looks down the stretch as an audition for next season.
Mar 14 2018Torrens was sent to Double-A San Antonio on Wednesday.Torrens was plucked from Low-A in the Rule 5 draft last year and the Padres managed to keep him on their roster for the entire season despite him being clearly not major-league ready. The 21-year-old hit just .163/.243/.203 in 139 plate appearances, though it's tough to blame him for that, as he really should have been spending the year at High-A. He'll head back to a level that will suit him better this season and is likely at least a year away from returning to the big leagues.
Mar 13 2018Torrens (oblique) went 1-for-1 and scored a run Tuesday against the Cubs.Torrens entered the game in the seventh inning and caught the remainder of the game for the Padres. Now that he's back in full health, Torrens should appear in a few more spring games for San Diego, although it's expected that he'll return to the minors prior to the upcoming season.
Mar 8 2018Torrens has been sidelined with a minor oblique injury this spring, Bill Center of MLB.com reports.Torrens has only made three plate appearances this spring, but manager Andy Green stated Thursday that the backstop is nearing a return to the field. With Austin Hedges and one of A.J. Ellis or Raffy Lopez set to man catching duties at the big-league level this upcoming season, it seems likely that Torrens will kick off the 2018 campaign in the minors.
Feb 14 2018Torrens will likely spend most if not all of 2018 in the minors, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.The 22-year-old spent all of last season on the active roster, but it was more out of necessity rather than a reflection of his performance. He hadn't played an inning above Low-A prior to 2017, but he had to stay in the majors all season if the Padres wanted to keep him due to his status as a Rule 5 selection. Perhaps Torrens would be in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot if he had hit better, but his .163 batting average left much to be desired. He'll head back to the low minors for more seasoning, likely looking toward 2019 or 2020 for a return trip to San Diego.
Aug 25 2017Torrens got the nod behind the dish and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.It was the 21-year-old's first start since Aug. 13 and just his third start this month. The Padres are carrying three catchers and Torrens represents their worst offensive option (.171/.240/.216 in 124 plate appearances). The club is simply protecting the Rule 5 draft pick from being exposed on waivers, but fantasy owners shouldn't be burdened with the same responsibility.
Jul 23 2017Torrens started behind the dish Saturday -- his third start in five days -- going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in a loss to the Giants.Hector Sanchez was expected to see the majority of playing time vacated by Austin Hedges (concussion), but Torrens has found himself in the lineup every other day since the Padres' regular catcher was placed on the disabled list. The Rule 5 draft pick has gone 2-for-11 in those three starts, so he won't provide much help from a fantasy perspective. The Padres simply want to get a look at the 21-year-old while they have him stashed on their 25-man roster. Expect Sanchez to get the nod in Sunday's series finale against San Francisco.
Jul 5 2017Torrens was a late addition to the lineup Wednesday against the Indians, Dennis Lin of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Austin Hedges was scratched due to neck stiffness, so Torrens will be thrown into emergency catching duty to replace him. Torrens will bat ninth as the Padres take on Cleveland right-hander Trevor Bauer.
Jun 22 2017Torrens started in place of the injured Austin Hedges (thigh) on Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in a win over the Cubs.The Rule 5 draft pick was pushed into action and delivered just his second RBI in 69 plate appearances. Hedges wasn't expected to be held out long after leaving Tuesday's contest with an injury, but the club opted to give their starting catcher an extra day of rest with an off day scheduled Thursday. While he is expected to return to action Friday against the Tigers, Torrens could earn another start if Hedges isn't fully healed.
Jun 10 2017Torrens is 7-for-45 with two walks and nine strikeouts this season.It's been a tough rookie season for Torrens, who never played past Single-A before being taken in the Rule 5 draft and traded to the Padres. Even in the minors, he was touted as a good defensive backstop with average skill at the plate, so the lack of offensive production against major league pitching from the Venezuelan catcher doesn't come as a surprise. One day, Torrens will have experience and could be looked at as a viable fantasy option, but that day doesn't seem like it's going to be anytime this season.
May 18 2017Torrens is batting eighth and catching for the Padres on Thursday.Torrens is 2-for-21 with two singles in his first major-league action. He's merely a depth piece, and Austin Hedges should be back in San Diego's order Friday.
