Haase could work in a utility role this season, potentially working as a backup catcher as well as an option at first base and in the outfield, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers acquired Tucker Barnhart in November, and he will likely serve as the team's No. 1 catcher. Haase figures to work as the primary backup, though Dustin Garneau is also in the mix. Haase also has the ability to play at first and in the corner outfield spots, which should help his playing time outlook. Haase popped a career-best 22 home runs in 2021, so he could be a decent fantasy option as long as he sees the field often enough.
