Trusting Tork: Tigers' Hinch not pushing panic button with struggling rookie

Detroit — The answer is no, for now.

As the Tigers prepared to play the fourth of a five-game series against the Athletics Wednesday, there were no imminent plans to option struggling rookie Spencer Torkelson to Triple-A Toledo.

“It’s tough,” manager AJ Hinch said when asked at one point does the idea of a reset come into play. “It’s all individual based. Right now we feel like Tork is still being competitive. He’s still playing great defense. His attitude has been good. His reactions have been good. Last night (Tuesday) he showed some frustration, but I’m actually fine with that.
