Lee went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday. Lee didn't start in Sunday's game, but he came in to pinch hit for Colt Keith in the seventh inning, and the move paid off for the Tigers after Lee took the second pitch he saw from Sam Moll deep to center field for a two-run homer. It was the first major-league home run of Lee's career, and the 23-year-old should continue to spend time with the big club for as long as Zach McKinstry (hip/abdomen) is on the 10-day injured list.

Joining big-league roster
The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Friday. A top prospect in the Tigers' organization, Lee gets the promotion after Zach McKinstry (hip/abdomen) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Lee will make his major-league debut Friday, as he's hitting eighth and playing third base against Red Sox lefty Ranger Suarez. The 23-year-old Lee was acquired from the Phillies at the trade deadline during the 2023 season and slashed .243/.342/.406 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 81 runs scored and 22 stolen bases at Triple-A last season.
Back from IL
Triple-A Toledo reinstated Lee (oblique) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. The 23-year-old opened the season on the injured list due to an oblique strain he suffered in early March, but he's ready to join Toledo after a three-game rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland. Lee played in 126 games at Triple-A last year and had a .248/.345/.414 slash line with 14 homers and 22 stolen bases.
