Hao-Yu Lee Day-to-Day for Tigers After Left Shin Contusion in Doubleheader
Lee exited the second game of a doubleheader with a left shin contusion and is listed as day-to-day, per Jason Beck of MLB.com.
Hao-Yu Lee left the nightcap of a Tigers doubleheader with a left shin contusion and is listed as day-to-day, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
The designation leaves his availability for upcoming games unresolved — day-to-day means the club has not indicated a specific timeline, and no further detail about the injury has been reported.
Why it matters
The Tigers have lost 14 of their last 17 games, a stretch that has put a premium on every healthy body in the lineup. Lee's status adds another variable to a roster that has been navigating a steady stream of personnel questions in recent weeks.
What we don't know yet
There is no reported timetable for Lee's return, no indication of whether imaging was involved, and no word on whether a roster move is forthcoming. Day-to-day is the full extent of what has been reported.
