Lee is not in Friday's starting lineup against the Rays because of an illness, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.
He is available off the bench despite missing yesterday's game due to the illness as well. Tristan Gray gets the start at shortstop in his place. Lee is off to a slow start, hitting .154 (2-for-13) with zero homers and just one RBI, and he's at some risk for losing his starting shortstop job this season after an underwhelming 2025 (.655 OPS).
