Eric Haase Stats

Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase is expected to see an increased workload behind the plate in 2023. After the Tigers let Tucker Barnhart walk in free agency, it cleared a path for Haase to fill in as the starting catcher. The only catcher on the current roster other than Haase is 27-year-old Jake Rogers, who isn't a perennial major-leaguer. Haase made 84 appearances behind the plate in 2022 and even saw some outfield reps. He slashed .254/.305/.443 with 14 home runs and a .748 OPS. His bat has developed into a legit threat since going pro in 2018, and the Tigers may consider him in the long run if his bat continues to contribute. Haase will mainly be a flier in deep-league formats for 2023.

Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase isn't in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Zack Greinke. Haase is hitting .250 this season with a .298 on-base percentage and 12 home runs in 329 plate appearances. He'll head to the bench with Tucker Barnhart getting the start behind the plate and batting eighth. So far this season, Barnhart is hitting .214 with a .277 on-base percentage and a home run in 289 plate appearances. Fantasy managers in search of streaming help are probably better off looking elsewhere.

Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase (abdomen) is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Kansas City Royals. The 29-year-old took an unlucky foul ball in his "lower abdomen" during the first inning of Friday's game and was replaced by Tucker Barnhart after finishing the frame. It's no surprise that he's missing Saturday's contest as a result of the injury he sustained on Friday. Barnhart is once again replacing him in the lineup and will bat eighth against Kansas City starter Jonathan Heasley.
