Player Outlook
Hao Yu Lee will likely make his big-league debut in 2026, but it's unclear how much playing time will be available. Detroit has collected a plethora of a bat-first infielders who can masquerade at second and third base, and Lee is a better defender than Colt Keith, Max Anderson and Jace Jung, so that edge in the field is his path to playing. Lee, who originally signed with the Phillies out of Taiwan in 2021 and was traded to Detroit at the 2023 deadline for Michael Lorenzen, spent his entire age-22 season at Triple-A, where he was the sixth-youngest qualified hitter. He slashed .243/.342/.406 with 14 home runs and 22 steals in 126 games, good for a 106 wRC+. The 22 steals oversell his upside in that category, as he's just an average runner. Lee was a little unlucky on balls in play (.292 BABIP), especially given his all-fields approach (39.4 Oppo%), and he makes excellent swing decisions (26.8 O-Swing%, 67.1 Z-Swing%), so while his batting averages may never be great, he should log an acceptable OBP during his prime years.

  • Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Booted from big-league camp

    Rotowire
    The Tigers optioned Lee (oblique) to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. It's unlikely he was going to make the Opening Day roster anyway, but Lee's chances evaporated after he sustained a left oblique strain. The 23-year-old infielder could get a late start to the minor-league season.

  • Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Removed from WBC roster

    Rotowire
    Lee was removed from Chinese Taipei's World Baseball Classic roster Wednesday due to a left oblique strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. It's unclear how or when Lee sustained the injury, but he will travel to Lakeland to undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury. He spent the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Toledo, where he slashed .248/.345/.414 with 22 steals (on 26 attempts), 14 home runs and 63 RBI in 579 plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Added to 40-man roster

    Rotowire
    The Tigers selected Lee's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. Lee was one of five players added for Rule 5 protection. While Lee is not exactly an imposing presence in the batter's box at 5-foot-9, he has displayed admirable plate skills and enough power and speed to project as a major-league prospect. The infielder spent his age-22 season at Toledo, slashing .243/.342/.406 with 14 homers and 22 steals across 579 plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Invited to spring training

    Rotowire
    Lee will participate in spring training with the Tigers as a non-roster invitee, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Lee came to Detroit in the Michael Lorenzen trade last summer and is one of the Tigers' top prospects. The 22-year-old infielder played well for Double-A Erie last year following the trade, slashing .298/.363/.488 with 12 home runs and 16 stolen bases in 87 regular-season games. Lee could push his way up to Triple-A for the first time in 2025 and may not be too far off from making his MLB debut if he continues to impress in the minors.
