Haase, who went 2-for-4 with a double in Thursday's loss to the Rangers, is slashing .273/.304/.455 through eight games this month.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Haase is slashing just .191/.248/.309 for the season, his June performance has been a breath of fresh air. He's still in a bit of a reserve role, with Tucker Barnhart serving as Detroit's top catcher, so Haase's fantasy value will be limited unless his playing time increases.

Haase went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI triple and a run scored in Saturday's victory over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Haase had arguably his best game of the season Saturday against the Jays, sending Javier Baez home on a triple and later scoring on a Victor Reyes single. It's been a disappointing season for the catcher, but he now has at least one hit in three of five June games and has raised his batting average to .186.

Haase went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

It's mostly been a struggle this season for Haase, who's batting just .170 with a .543 OPS, though he does have hits in his last two appearances, which is a small step in the right direction. Haase has two home runs this year after blasting 22 long balls in 2021, and he'll need to start seeing more playing time if he wants to approach that figure in 2022.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker Barnhart will get the Sunday afternoon game off after starting Saturday night's contest. Haase has not been able to recapture last season's magic, as he's slashing just .140/.229/.233 across 43 at-bats. That should keep Barnhart in the lineup most days, and Haase doesn't figure to have a ton of fantasy value unless he gets going at the plate and can earn more playing time.

Haase is starting in left field and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

After a doubleheader Saturday, the Tigers are shuffling their lineup a bit Sunday, with Miguel Cabrera getting a day off and Austin Meadows shifting to DH. That opens up left field for Haase, who also started in left in the second game Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a walk. He has yet to really get going this season with a .172/.273/.310 slash line through 12 games.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Haase appeared as a pinch hitter in Friday's season opener and went 1-for-2 with a solo home run. He'll now pick up his first start of the year, with Tucker Barnhart heading to the bench. Haase offers more pop than Barnhart, so he should continue to see regular playing time as the Tigers look to increase offensive production.

Haase went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Friday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Haase struck out in his first at-bat Friday when he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth, but he blasted a game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth to help the Tigers secure a comeback win. The 29-year-old should see a fair amount of playing time this year since he has the ability to play behind the dish, at first base and in the outfield.

Haase may work on the short side of a platoon with Akil Baddoo to begin the season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers traded for Austin Meadows on Monday, which adds some new wrinkles to the outfield. Both Meadows and Baddoo are left-handed bats, and one or both may sit out against southpaws. In such a scenario, Haase along with Victor Reyes are options for more at-bats. Even with the addition of Meadows, Haase should see plenty of playing time, as he's versatile enough to play in the outfield, at first base and behind the plate.

With Riley Greene (foot) and Derek Hill (hamstring) both out to begin the regular season, Haase may see more playing time in the outfield, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haase has been preparing for a versatile role. He can play behind the plate as well as in the outfield and potentially at first base. He should move around plenty this season, but his services may be needed in the outfield in the short term due to the injuries. The playing time should be there no matter where he slots in, so Haase remains a decent fantasy option at the catcher position.

Haase has changed his offseason workout routine to try to be more "explosive" when he plays in the outfield, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit manager A.J. Hinch previously said Haase is a "catcher first," though it seems clear from his offseason focus on speed and quickness that he will appear at multiple positions this season. That should help the 29-year-old play more frequently and potentially pick up eligibility at a few different spots. Haase is coming off a career year in which he blasted 22 home runs across 98 games.
