Hao-Yu Lee - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Provides offense Monday Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Twins.

Impact Lee provided all of Detroit's offense in the lopsided loss with a sixth inning solo shot, his eighth home run of the season. The rookie, who started at third base Monday before shifting over to second, has settled into a regular infield role recently for the Tigers. Detroit is now sitting at 63-74 and falling out of the playoff race, which means Lee is likely to hold onto the increased playing time, with veteran Gleyber Torres in line to see his opportunities decrease. Lee has played well so far at the MLB level and is only boosting his fantasy stock heading into 2027, when he could be a full-time starter to begin the year.

Settling into regular role Lee will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact Lee will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after he went 5-for-13 with a home run, a double, two walks, five runs and two RBI over his last four games to bring his slash line up to .281/.321/.439 for the season. The hot-hitting rookie appears to have played his way into a near-everyday role for the time being, but he could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup as soon as the Tigers are able to get both Kerry Carpenter (foot) and Riley Greene (hamstring) back from the injured list.

Blasts seventh homer Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a run scored during Detroit's 3-1 loss to Kansas City on Saturday.

Impact Lee was responsible for Detroit's lone run and one of three hits in this game after launching his seventh home run in the fifth to cut the lead to one. The 23-year-old had gone 20 consecutive games without a long ball dating back to July 25 before Saturday. Despite the long drought, Lee has caught fire in his last 30 games, slashing .343/.392/.543 with three homers and 16 RBI in 77 plate appearances.

Productive showing in loss Lee went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Batting ninth, Lee had a good afternoon, and he's now batting .438 with six runs scored across his last eight games. The rookie started at third base in this one, and his ability to move between the hot corner and second gives him a little extra versatility. If Lee keeps swinging a hot bat, the Tigers will likely keep finding ways to get him in the lineup at either position, making him someone to keep an eye on in fantasy leagues over the last month of the season.

Reaches five times in win Lee went 3-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact Lee set a new season high with three hits and also set a season high by reaching base five times. The rookie infielder hasn't quite found an everyday role with the Tigers, but he's performed well when given an opportunity with a .275 batting average and .737 OPS. If Detroit falls out of playoff contention down the stretch, Lee could see his role grow if the team prioritizes its younger players.

AUGUST 9 • Associated Press

Fading back to bench role Lee is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Impact Left out of the lineup for the fourth game in a row, Lee has shifted to a bench role since Detroit promoted top prospect Max Clark from Triple-A Toledo a week ago. With Clark taking over as the Tigers' everyday center fielder, Javier Baez has picked up each of his last five starts at shortstop, which has left no room in the infield for Lee. Lee put together a 12-game hitting streak from July 9 through July 27, but since then, he's gone just 1-for-12 at the dish.

Extends hitting streak to 12 games Lee went 1-for-3 with two RBI during the Tigers' 8-5 loss to the Orioles on Monday.

Impact Lee got the Tigers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the second inning before driving in another run on an infield single in the fourth. That single extended Lee's hitting streak to 12 games, which is currently the longest in the majors. In that span, he has gone 15-for-40 (.375) with two home runs, four doubles and 10 RBI.

Carries offense in loss to KC Lee went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.

Impact The 23-year-old infielder brought home Riley Greene in the second inning with a two-bagger before lofting a solo shot off Michael Wacha in the fourth, but the Tigers' offense went cold the rest of the way. Lee has started five of the last seven games while bouncing between second base and third base, and Saturday's performance extended his current hitting streak to 10 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .382 (13-for-34) with three doubles, two homers, five runs and eight RBI.

Launches key home run Wednesday Lee went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Lee hit his fifth home run of the season in the fourth inning against Chicago starter Colin Rea with two runners on, which helped break the game open for the Tigers. The 23-year-old has held his own during his rookie campaign with a .256 batting average and .685 OPS across 60 contests. However, the recent return of Gleyber Torres (oblique) from the injured list is likely to cut into Lee's playing time at second base.
