Hao-Yu Lee sparks comeback win over Rockies

Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Player Stats

Hao-Yu Lee went 3-for-5 with three RBI on Saturday, leading the Tigers to an 11-7 comeback win over the Rockies.

Lee played a critical role in Detroit’s seven-run outburst as they erased a three-run deficit in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old infielder gave the Tigers a commanding four-run advantage by capping the offensive explosion with a two-run triple off the right-field wall. He also notched an RBI double earlier in the contest as part of a three-hit performance. He’s split time between several infield spots, but has really emerged as a key everyday contributor for the Tigers over the last few months.

Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25

Gleyber Torres is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for the second consecutive day for Sunday’s series finale against the Rockies.

It’s the third time in the past four games that Torres has found himself on the bench, which could mean that he’s battling a minor injury issue. Hao-Yu Lee will start in his place at second base and will bat second for the Tigers against right-hander Gabriel Hughes.
Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25

Gleyber Torres is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Guardians in Cleveland.

Torres has shouldered a heavy workload for the Tigers and played in both halves of Friday’s doubleheader in addition to Saturday’s contest, so he’ll get a breather in this one. Spencer Torkelson will do the same. Hao-Yu Lee will start at second base and will bat second against Guardians’ right-hander Gavin Williams.
Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Hao-Yu Lee (shin) is in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Guardians.

Lee appears to have checked out fine after suffering a bruised left shin when he collided with Guardians catcher Austin Hedges while trying to score on a rundown during the nightcap of Friday’s doubleheader. The versatile 23-year-old has been on a tear at the dish since returning to the majors in mid-June, batting .295 with six homers and 28 RBI over 64 games during that span. He’s at third base with Kevin McGonigle getting a breather after playing in both games of Friday’s twin bill.

Hao-Yu Lee was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after leaving Friday’s game.

Lee was hurt in a home plate collision with Austin Hedges. It sounds like he’s day-to-day.
Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Hao-Yu Lee left the second game of Friday’s doubleheader in the fifth inning with an apparent knee injury.

Lee was hurt colliding with Austin Hedges in the third, but since he was DHing, it was unclear for a couple of innings whether he’d be staying in the game. Dillon Dingler replaced him in the fifth.
Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Hao-Yu Lee is batting third in game one of Detroit’s doubleheader against the Guardians on Friday.

Lee has been red-hot and has received a lineup elevation against LHP Logan Allen. The 23-year-old second baseman has hit second, seventh, ninth, fifth, second, and now third over the past six days while starting every game — of his 12 starts in the top four slots of the order, 10 of them have come since July 28 and he’s hitting .303/.351/.480 since the start of June with seven homers and two stolen bases. Lee’s not a must-roster shallow player, but since he figures to start plenty down the stretch he’s a reasonable add in 12-team leagues.
Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25

Gleyber Torres is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rays.

It appears to be a routine day off with sizzling-hot rookie Hao-Yu Lee taking over at the keystone. Torres is hitting .256 (21-for-82) with three homers and 12 RBI in 20 games since the start of August.
Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Hao-Yu Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Royals on Saturday.

Lee’s home run was his seventh of the year. He hit a solo shot off Michael Wacha in the fifth inning. Lee is 9-for-22 (.409) with a home run, seven runs scored and four RBI over his last 10 games. The Tigers crowded infield limits Lee’s at-bats, leaving him as merely an option in AL-Only leagues.
Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Hao-Yu Lee is making his third straight start Saturday against the Royals.

It looks like Lee might have overtaken Javier Báez on the depth chart for now, as Báez has now sat against the last two righties the Tigers have faced. Lee went seven straight games without starting earlier this month, but he’s gone 8-for-19 with a 2/4 K/BB over the last two weeks.
Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Hao-Yu Lee is out of Detroit’s starting lineup for a fifth straight game Saturday.

Lee had a 12-game hitting streak while playing pretty regularly in the second half of last month, but he’s taken a backseat since Javier Báez came off the IL. The Tigers seem pretty happy with Báez at short and Kevin McGonigle at third right now.

Red Sox placed INF Anthony Seigler on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation.

Seigler suffered the injury during Saturday’s ballgame against the Royals. Given that there are only two weeks left in the regular season, it’s unlikely that the 27-year-old infielder will be able to return before the postseason begins. Willson Contreras was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.

The A’s appear to be easing Langeliers back into action following his return from the injured list on Saturday. He’s expected to finish out the season exclusively as a designated hitter for the Athletics. Max Muncy is functioning in that role on Sunday and will bat fifth against Mariners’ right-hander Bryce Miller.
