Trei Cruz and Lee done for the year per Lynn

A day later, Hao-Yu Lee, a second baseman who this year blasted into the Tigers' top-5 prospect range, played his last game of 2024. A back problem, stemming from a 13-hour bus ride from Portland, Maine, has finished Lee for the year, although it’s expected he will be fine ahead of 2025 spring camp.

One of the knocks on Lee has been health. His knack for getting hurt is a bit of a red flag.

forget what injury ended his 2023 season, but hoping it was not back issue; will still make All Eastern League lists, considering his great age 21 performance; just stay healthy, learn some 3B and take over for Ibanez eventually

Looking back I believe it's a left knee issue.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/which-young-power-prospects-have-the-highest-90th-percentile-exit-velocity/

Liranzo on this list 

Thayron Liranzo, C, Tigers 

90th Percentile Exit Velocity: 108.2 mph (99th percentile)

A switch-hitting catcher with elite power is like a unicorn, but the Tigers may have acquired just that in Liranzo at this year’s trade deadline. While Liranzo failed to meet expectations early this season with High-A Great Lakes, the move across the Midwest League to West Michigan has seen him flourish, hitting .396/.547/.771 with four home runs over his first 15 games post-trade. Liranzo has excellent swing decisions. He ranks in the top 20% in chase rate and fringe-average contact, and it’s enough to get to his easy plus raw power. Liranzo rates within the the top 10th percentile in xwOBAcon, 90th percentile exit velocity, max EV, hard-hit rate and barrel rate for players 21 or younger. Some present swing-and-miss is a concern, and the track record of switch-hitters taking longer to develop may worry some, but it’s tough to find another young switch-hitter with this type of power.

Do you know why he hasn’t played this week?
