Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch wants to put one scenario to rest.
First/third baseman Spencer Torkelson and outfielder Riley Greene won't make their MLB debuts in 2021. The organization wants their top prospects to fully develop in the minor leagues before bringing them all the way up, which should happen sometime in 2022.
But Torkelson and Greene — after tearing up the competition for Double-A Erie — were promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. Infielder Ryan Kreidler was also promoted. The Double-A schedule wraps up Sept. 19, but Triple-A teams play until Oct.
