Haase went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop has a seven-game hitting streak going, although he doesn't have a multi-hit performance during that stretch. Haase continues to put a charge in the ball -- seven of his 16 homers on the year have come in July, including three in his last five starts.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting third in Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Haase got a breather Saturday but is set to return Sunday, with Grayson Greiner heading to the bench. Jake Rogers (forearm) has been shut down for the foreseeable future, so Haase should continue to work primarily behind the plate, though he's played outfield this year too. The team will likely find him regular days off as he acclimates to the rigors of catching more regularly.

Haase isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Haase has recorded hits in each of his last four appearances, and he's gone 4-for-16 with two homers, five RBI, a walk and five strikeouts during that time. Grayson Greiner will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Haase got the scoring started early in Detroit's seventh straight win, taking Texas starter Mike Foltynewicz deep in the first inning with a pair of runners on. Haase now has 15 home runs and 32 RBI this season, which are both easily career highs. While he was seeing regular time in the outfield, Haase should play more frequently at catcher moving forward with Jake Rogers (forearm) expected to be out for a while.

Haase is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After catching the past two games following Jake Rogers' (arm) placement on the 10-day injured list, Haase will get a breather for the series finale. Grayson Greiner checks in behind the plate, forming a battery with starting pitcher Matt Manning.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Haase led off the fifth inning with a solo shot off Dane Dunning. The homer marks his first since July 8 and just his second hit since coming back from the All-Star break. Still, the Detroit-native is enjoying a career year, and his utility as either a catcher or left fielder makes him an interesting fantasy player.

Haase (head) is starting Monday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Haase was struck in the head by a fastball in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader and sat out Sunday as a result, but he avoided a concussion and will serve as the designated hitter in Monday's series opener against Texas. In his two games since the All-Star break, the 28-year-old has gone 0-for-5 with a strikeout.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday that Haase isn't experiencing any concussion symptoms after being struck in the head by a Hansel Robles fastball in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. "He's fine...his spirits are great," Hinch said of Haase.
EDGE Analysis
Haase was pulled from the game after taking his base and proceeded to sit out Sunday's 7-0 win, but he doesn't look like he'll be at risk of landing on the injured list. The Tigers didn't call up another catcher to back up Jake Rogers on Sunday, which offered additional evidence that Haase's head injury isn't a concern.

Haase (head) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Haase will take a seat after he picked up starts in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of Minnesota before exiting in the seventh inning of the second contest when he was struck in the head by a pitch. The Tigers haven't revealed whether Haase is dealing with a concussion, so it's possible that he's being held out of the lineup Sunday merely for rest purposes. Jake Rogers will catch for Wily Peralta in the series finale, while Derek Hill joins Akil Baddoo and Robbie Grossman in the outfield.

Haase exited Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins after being hit on the head by a pitch in the seventh inning, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He went 0-for-2 in his previous at-bats prior to departing.
EDGE Analysis
Haase appeared to want to stay in the game after taking a Hansel Robles fastball to the helmet, but the club played things safe by replacing him with Victor Reyes as a pinch runner. The backstop will likely undergo tests to see if there's any concern of him having suffered a concussion, and until further update is given, he can be considered day-to-day.
