The Detroit Tigers need a spark in the infield outside of Kevin McGonigle.
Injuries to Javier Baez, Trey Sweeney, and Gleyber Torres have left the Tigers thin at the middle infield spots.
That's when the AL Central club decided to promote one of their top prospects from Triple-A. However, the 23-year-old's first stint in the Majors may be running low on time, writes FanSided's Mark Powell.
"He's [Hao-Yu Lee] a feel-good story in a season that thus far has very few of those for the Tigers," wrote Powell. "As much as I wish he were playing better, he simply isn't, which could lead to another minor-league stint in the not-so-distant future."
Lee, born in Taiwan, can play second and third base and at shortstop. He brings good versatility, but his at-bats have left a lot to be desired thus far.
