Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has gone 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in the first two games of the season and will head to the bench for the series finale in Baltimore. Tristan Gray will take over at shortstop Sunday for the Twins.

Lee went 2-for-4 in Monday's spring training win over Boston. He's hitting .308 (16-for-52) with a .743 OPS this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Lee looks set to begin the season as the everyday shortstop. He was underwhelming at the plate last year in his sophomore season with a .655 OPS, though he did hit 16 home runs. He has a good eye at the plate and makes excellent contact (just a 17.5% K%) but struggles to generate power (just a a 28.0% hard hit rate). It's not clear if he'll have the glove to stick at shortstop as he was -8 in Defensive Runs Saved last season, so it's a big season for Lee to show he can be a building block for the next Twins playoff team.

Lee is the favorite to start at shortstop for the Twins but must show improved range and more consistent offense, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee took over as the everyday shortstop last season after Carlos Correa was traded, but he struggled at the position defensively. The Twins have very little depth behind Lee at shortstop, so they have little choice but to throw him out there and hope for improvement with the glove. If Lee falters, Ryan Kreidler and Orlando Arcia would be next in line at shortstop for Minnesota.

Lee isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Lee will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's twin bill after going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts Friday. Ryan Fitzgerald will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Twins.

Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has a .178/.240/.289 slash line through 13 games in September and will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous four contests. Ryan Fitzgerald will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth versus New York righty Cam Schlittler.

Lee went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's victory over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Lee snapped a 15-game homerless stretch Monday by launching his 15th bomb of the season. The shortstop has flashed potential but has largely underwhelmed in his first full big-league campaign, carrying a .664 OPS across 129 games.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Lee went hitless in the first two games of the series and has gone just 6-for-42 across his last 11 tilts, so he'll get a breather in Wednesday's finale. Ryan Fitzgerald will occupy shortstop and bat eighth for the Twins.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lee is receiving a well-earned day of rest after starting each of the previous 20 contests for the Twins. Ryan Fitzgerald will fill in at shortstop in Lee's stead.

Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Lee started the previous 11 games but will receive a day off after batting .150 (6-for-40) during that stretch. Ryan Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop Tuesday for Minnesota.

Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Lee scored on a wild pitch in the second inning before tying the game with a 430-foot blast in the fourth. The big night came at a good time, as the 24-year-old had entered Wednesday in a 1-for-21 slump since homering twice July 29. For the season, he's slashing .245/.288/.376 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI, 30 runs scored and two steals across 354 plate appearances.
