Haase is starting at catcher and batting fourth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Haase will be starting behind the plate for the second straight day, and it looks like he's overtaken Tucker Barnhart as the Tigers' primary catcher. Haase certainly offers more power potential, as he has seven home runs and a .433 slugging percentage across 57 games, while Barnhart has no home runs and a .243 slugging percentage across 59 games.

Haase went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Haase took Cleveland starter Cal Quantrill deep in the fourth inning with a runner on for his seventh home run of the season. He's gone deep in consecutive contests and has five home runs over his last 12 games. Tucker Barnhart is still the presumptive starter at catcher in Detroit, but the Tigers will likely keep Haase in the lineup while he's in the midst of this power surge.

Haase went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Haase didn't start the first game with Tucker Barnhart getting the nod behind the plate, but he made an impact in the nightcap and helped lead the Tigers to a 5-3 win and a sweep of the doubleheader. Haase now has six home runs this season, including four over his last 11 games. The power surge could continue to earn him playing time ahead of Barnhart moving forward.

Haase is starting at catcher and batting fourth in Saturday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker Barnhart, who is 0-for-10 across his last four games, will take a seat. Haase has been seeing more playing time recently, and while he has only a .215 average and .650 OPS this season, he does have three home runs across his last nine games. The power potential makes Haase an interesting flier from the cleanup spot.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Haase's only hit of the day was a big one, as he broke open a 1-1 tie with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old now has five home runs this season, and he may be hard pressed to match or surpass the 22 long balls he recorded a season ago during a breakout campaign. Haase offers some power potential when he's in the lineup, but his playing time and overall production leave plenty to be desired.

Haase went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Haase's fifth-inning blast briefly gave the Tigers a one-run lead, but their offense stalled out after that. The catcher is finishing June strong -- he's gone 11-for-33 (.333) with four multi-hit efforts in his last 10 games. He's up to a .216/.266/.371 slash line with four homers, 13 RBI, 15 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 124 plate appearances. Tucker Barnhart is just 2-for-19 (.105) in his last seven contests, so Haase's hot hitting could allow him to see an uptick in playing time.

Haase is serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Haase went 3-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and three total runs scored in Saturday's contest, so the Tigers will roll with him again Sunday. The 29-year-old has been playing well this month, with a .333/.357/.630 slash line, a home run, four RBI and seven runs scored across nine June games.

Haase went 3-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and three total runs scored in Saturday's win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Haase knocked in Robbie Grossman and Miguel Cabrera on a homer in the fourth. The catcher also came around to score on a Jonathan Schoop single in the sixth. Haase now has back-to-back multi-hit games and has raised his batting average to .212. After struggling through April and May, he is slashing .333/.357/.630 in June.
