Impact Lee got off to a bit of a slow start in September, but over his last four games, he's gone 9-for-19 with four extra-base hits. Overall, the rookie infielder is now batting .268 with a .757 OPS, and he's likely shown enough to earn an Opening Day starting role with Detroit next year. Lee should also see ample playing time over the last few days of the 2026 regular season now that the Tigers have been eliminated from playoff contention and figure to focus on young players they want to build around.

Despite the rough patch, Lee is still having a strong debut campaign with a .255 batting average and .723 OPS overall, and he's firmly in Detroit's plans moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Patience on display Wednesday Lee went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting second, Lee did an effective job setting the table for the heart of Detroit's order. The rookie infielder is batting just .115 (3-for-26) in September, but he's drawn six free passes and scored six runs in eight games. With the Tigers having fallen out of the wild-card picture, the 23-year-old will likely continue getting consistent playing time while bouncing between the keystone and the hot corner.

Impact After making 17 straight starts, Lee has now been on the bench for two of three during the series versus the Twins. Gleyber Torres will be at second base, and Kevin McGonigle will play third base for the Tigers.

Impact Gleyber Torres will cover second base in the series opener while Lee heads to the bench for the first time since Aug. 18, ending a streak of 17 consecutive starts for the rookie. Lee looks poised to handle a near-everyday role in the Detroit infield as the season winds down, but outside of maintaining a serviceable .260 batting average over his 289 plate appearances, he hasn't been a strong fantasy contributor (eight home runs, two steals, 37 RBI, 31 runs in 98 games).
