Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Managing back injury
Hao Yu Lee was placed on Double-A Erie's 7-day injured list Tuesday due to lumbar spine inflammation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.The 21-year-old was acquired from the Phillies in the Michael Lorenzen trade last summer and is one of the Detroit Tigers' top prospects. Lee has been productive at Double-A this season and has a .298/.363/.488 slash line with 12 home runs and 16 steals in 87 games. Depending on how long he's sidelined by the back issue, Lee could get a look with Triple-A Toledo before the end of the campaign.

Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Headed to Detroit for Lorenzen
Hao Yu Lee was traded from the Phillies to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for Michael Lorenzen, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.Lee, a 20-year-old second baseman from Taiwan, is mostly known for his advanced hit tool. He had a .283/.372/.401 slash line with a 10.2 percent walk rate and an 18.6 percent strikeout rate in 285 plate appearances for High-A Jersey Shore. Lee's power and speed lag behind his hit tool, as he has a .117 ISO and five home runs in 64 games this year, and, despite back-to-back seasons with double-digit steals, most public scouting reports have him pegged as a 50-grade runner.
