2026 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Joining big-league roster
The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Analysis
A top prospect in the Tigers organization, Lee gets the promotion after Zach McKinstry (hip/abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Lee will make his major-league debut Friday, as he's hitting eighth and playing third base against Red Sox lefty Ranger Suarez. The 23-year-old Lee was acquired from the Phillies at the trade deadline during the 2023 season and slashed .243/.342/.406 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 81 runs scored and 22 stolen bases at Triple-A last season.
