Jun 23 2025Lee struck out two batters over 1.1 perfect innings Monday while earning a save over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee entered with two on and two out in the eighth inning, tasked with protecting a 3-2 lead. He struck out Juan Soto to end the threat before retiring the Mets' 4-5-6 hitters in order during the ninth inning to finish off the win. Raisel Iglesias recorded two outs in the eighth before Lee took over. Lee earned his second save of the year and first since April 26. He dropped his ERA to 1.77 across 36 appearances and has not allowed an earned run in his last 13.2 frames.
Jun 14 2025Lee gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday during a 12-4 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it seems like a low-leverage spot, Lee was warming up to handle a save chance in the ninth after Pierce Johnson had entered the game in the fifth inning and Raisel Iglesias had collected his first hold in the eighth. Atlanta tacked on five insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to deny Lee a shot at his second save of the year, however. The southpaw has been impressive in 2025, posting a 2.10 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 30 innings, and he appears to be part of a high-leverage committee at the moment with Iglesias and Johnson. Who gets saves from that group will likely come down to matchups, and who is available for any particular game.
May 13 2025Lee struck out both batters he faced Monday to record his sixth hold of the season in a 4-3 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw fanned Josh Bell and Dylan Crews to close out the seventh inning and protect a 3-1 lead. Raisel Iglesias blew his third save of the season in the ninth however, and if the veteran closer's recent struggles cause him to be removed from ninth-inning duties, Lee and right-hander Pierce Johnson would appear to be the top options to handle save situations in his place. Through 16.2 innings over 18 appearances this season, Lee sports a 2.16 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB.
Apr 13 2025Lee (1-1) picked up the win Saturday against the Rays, giving up two hits and a walk in a scoreless eighth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It wasn't the cleanest outing, but the left-hander helped his own cause by picking off Jose Caballero as he attempted to steal third base. Lee was then in the right place to collect his first win of 2025 when Atlanta completed a late comeback with a two-run homer by Michael Harris in the top of the ninth. Through seven appearances this season, Lee has a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 3:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings with two holds.
Mar 18 2025Lee will begin the season as one of the primary setup men ahead of closer Raisel Iglesias in the Atlanta bullpen, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pierce Johnson will be the team's main right-handed setup option, while Lee and Aaron Bummer will handle high-leverage innings from the left side. Lee has cruised through camp, posting a 7:1 K:BB through five Grapefruit League innings, and he could be poised to shatter his previous career high of nine holds, set in 2022 and tied in 2024.
Jan 9 2025Lee agreed to a one-year, $1.025 million contract with Atlanta on Thursday to avoid arbitration. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander had a couple short stints in the minors last year but pitched well in 52 appearances for Atlanta with a 2.11 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 76:17 K:BB across 59.2 innings during the 2024 regular season. Lee recorded nine holds and could work in a setup role in 2025 if he remains similarly effective.
Aug 12 2024Atlanta recalled Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee will give the bullpen another left-hander with A.J. Minter (hip) going on the 15-day injured list. The 30-year-old has been terrific during his time in the majors this season, posting a 2.00 ERA and 49:14 K:BB across 45 relief innings.
Aug 4 2024Atlanta optioned Lee to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander has been an effective bullpen piece for Atlanta this season with a 2.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB across 43.2 innings, but he'll be the odd man out Sunday to create roster space for the return of Max Fried (forearm), who was activated from the injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the Marlins. It should only be a matter of time before Lee is back in the big leagues.
Jul 29 2024Lee (3-2) picked up the win Sunday over the Mets, allowing three hits over two scoreless relief innings. He struck out one without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw took the mound to begin the fourth inning after Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) exited the game after only 57 pitches, and Lee was credited with the decision in an eventual 9-2 rout. He's been tagged with just one earned run over his last 12 appearances, posting a 0.64 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB in 14 innings during that stretch, but Atlanta's deep bullpen has no room for Lee in a high-leverage role -- he has zero holds or saves in that time.
Jul 10 2024Atlanta recalled Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee was dispatched to the minors on Monday, and he'll now be called upon to replace AJ Smith-Shawver, who was optioned to Triple-A. Lee has emerged as a reliable option out of the bullpen for Atlanta, logging a 2.00 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 36 innings, though the amount of talent in the team's bullpen has limited him to a middle-relief role.
Jul 8 2024Atlanta optioned Lee to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee boasts a 2.00 ERA and 37:11 K:BB over 36 innings this season but nonetheless finds himself back in the minors. He should be back shortly after the All-Star break once he's eligible to be recalled.
May 24 2024Lee (1-1) picked up the win Thursday over the Cubs, striking out one in a scoreless inning of relief. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: AJ Smith-Shawver got the start but lasted only 4.1 innings, handing the ball off to Lee in the fifth inning to continue what proved to be a combined shutout for Atlanta. Lee has been impressive in a low-leverage role this season, posting a 1.21 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB through 22.1 innings, but he has just one win and two holds in 14 appearances.
May 13 2024Lee struck out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to record his first hold of the season in Sunday's loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw has primarily been used as a lower-leverage long relief option this season, throwing two-plus innings in seven if his 11 appearances, but Lee was brought in with one out in the eighth inning to protect a 3-2 lead and needed only seven pitches (five strikes) to retire Joey Wendle and Harrison Bader. Lee's been effective no matter his role, posting a 1.40 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings, and with Tyler Matzek (elbow) on the shelf and A.J. Minter struggling of late -- he blew the save in the ninth Sunday -- Lee could see more high-leverage usage.
Apr 12 2024Lee allowed three unearned runs on two hits and a walk over two innings in Thursday's loss to the Mets. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander entered the game with Atlanta already down 7-0, and an Austin Riley error cushioned the blow to his ERA. Lee has been used in low-leverage long relief spots to begin the season, working more than one inning in all four of his appearances with a 0.00 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB through eight innings. While the early ratios are impressive, Lee has yet to collect a win, hold or save, and his fantasy value will remain limited without a more prominent role in the bullpen.
Mar 18 2024Lee gave up two runs on two hits over two innings of relief in Sunday's split-squad game against the Orioles. He struck out five without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw got taken deep by minor leaguer John Rhodes in the sixth inning for a two-run shot, but Lee was otherwise dominant Sunday. He has a stellar 13:0 K:BB through eight innings this spring, but keeping the ball in the park has been a problem as he's served up five homers. He's expected to break camp in a lower-leverage role for Atlanta as the fourth lefty in the bullpen behind A.J. Minter (finger), Aaron Bummer and Tyler Matzek, but if he keeps getting hit hard, the organization has plenty of pitching depth and Lee has minor-league options remaining.
Feb 15 2024Lee (shoulder) will need to pitch well this spring to ensure he breaks camp on the big-league roster, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old southpaw dazzled in 2022 with a 2.13 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB through 50.2 innings, but shoulder trouble rendered him far less effective last season and he underwent surgery in October. Lee's healthy to begin the spring, but he faces plenty of competition for a spot in the bullpen after Atlanta added Aaron Bummer, Reynaldo Lopez, Ken Giles and other relief arms this offseason. As Lee still has minor-league options remaining, he could find himself on the outside looking in when camp breaks if he doesn't force the issue with his performance.
Oct 13 2023Lee underwent a cleanup procedure on his left shoulder Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee posted a 4.18 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 23.2 innings in 2023. However, Lee missed a large portion of the season due to inflammation in his left shoulder, so he underwent surgery in order to address the issue directly. The 29-year-old southpaw is expected to be ready for spring training.
Sep 17 2023Lee (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander landed on the shelf with shoulder inflammation last week, and his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season. Lee was a decent bullpen piece for Atlanta in 2023 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings.
Sep 12 2023Atlanta placed Lee on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder inflammation. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following the first half of Monday's doubleheader against the Phillies, but that move has now been voided because he injured his shoulder while pitching in a major-league game. The 29-year-old southpaw is not expected to return to the NL East leaders in 2023.
Sep 11 2023Lee was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee tossed eight pitches in the opener of Monday's twin bill, and he wound up ceding his roster spot to fellow pitcher Kyle Wright afterward. Lee has fared well with the big-league club for a couple years, so chances are he will rejoin Atlanta again before the season comes to a close.
Sep 1 2023Lee (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee had been out since May with left shoulder inflammation but is finally ready to go following a long rehab. The left-hander will provide Atlanta manager Brian Snitker with another southpaw in the bullpen.
Aug 12 2023Lee (shoulder) will be built up to serve as a multi-inning option out of Atlanta's bullpen once he returns from the injured list, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee was originally slated to return this week, but the transition into a new role could cause him to be out through the end of August. The 29-year-old lefty holds a 3.10 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 20.1 innings this season and has been out since May with left shoulder inflammation.
Aug 9 2023Lee (shoulder) is likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list by the end of this week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee seems to be done with his minor-league rehab assignment after retiring all six batters he faced between two appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett. The 29-year-old left-hander had posted a sharp 3.10 ERA and 23:7 K:BB through 20.1 innings with Atlanta prior to going down with a shoulder issue in mid-May.
Aug 4 2023Lee (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Gwinnett, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee made it through a live batting practice session earlier this week without issue and has been cleared to return to live games after missing nearly three full months due to lingering shoulder inflammation. The 29-year-old left-hander had pitched to a 3.10 ERA and 23:7 K:BB in 20.1 innings for Atlanta prior to this lengthy IL stint.
Jul 31 2023Lee (shoulder) is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee is expected to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment over the weekend if all goes well during the live BP session. The 28-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since May 19 with left shoulder inflammation and will likely need to make multiple appearances in the minors before Atlanta is comfortable adding him back to its bullpen.
Jul 22 2023Lee (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday in Milwaukee, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee is traveling with the NL East leaders on their current road trip and is scheduled to throw another bullpen session next week in Boston. If all goes well in that workout, Atlanta can maybe start thinking about sending him out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old left-hander has been sidelined since mid-May because of shoulder inflammation.
Jul 13 2023Lee (shoulder) still isn't ready to begin a rehab assignment, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee has been sidelined for nearly two months because of inflammation in his left shoulder but hasn't been cleared for game action yet. Atlanta says the reliever has not encountered any setbacks, though, as they are just proceeding cautiously with him. Lee remains on track to return sometime in August.
Jun 30 2023Lee (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Charlie Culberson. Lee has been out since mid-May with left shoulder inflammation and now can't return until the second half.
Jun 6 2023Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Lee (shoulder) is still limited to flat-ground throwing, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee was placed on the injured list in mid-May because of inflammation in his left shoulder and he's not yet ready to take the next step forward in his throwing progression. There won't be a clear timeline for his return to the major-league roster until he begins doing some mound work.
May 19 2023Atlanta placed Lee on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 17, with left shoulder inflammation. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee struggled in his last appearance Tuesday versus the Rangers, yielding three runs -- two earned -- on six hits and one walk over just 1.1 innings of work. There is no timetable for the 28-year-old reliever's return, though the initial wording suggests that the injury might not be overly serious.
May 10 2023Lee allowed a walk and struck out three over 2.2 scoreless and hitless innings versus the Red Sox on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee covered the most innings of the eight pitchers Atlanta used in what ended up being a bullpen game. The 28-year-old hadn't started a game at any level since 2017, so it's unlikely he's a long-term solution for Atlanta's battered rotation, which will be missing Max Fried (forearm) and Kyle Wright (shoulder) for at least two more months. Lee has a 2.41 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 18.2 innings this season, and he'll likely continue to serve in a versatile role out of the bullpen, though it's also possible he could be tabbed as an opener again on occasion.
Mar 20 2023Lee gave up a hit and struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive 2022 campaign in the Atlanta bullpen, and Lee has carried that forward into the spring with an 8:0 K:BB through 5.1 scoreless innings. He's still the team's No. 2 left-handed relief option after A.J. Minter, which could limit him to middle relief rather than a consistent set-up role, but after recording nine holds in 46 appearances last year, Lee seems a pretty safe bet to at least reach double digits in 2023.
Aug 4 2022Lee gave up a run in two-thirds of an inning while walking one and striking out one to record his seventh hold of the season in a 3-1 loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old southpaw finished up the seventh inning for starter Charlie Morton to protect a 1-0 lead but then got the hook after issuing a one-out walk to Rhys Hoskins in the eighth, only to see Collin McHugh fall apart and let Hoskins plus two more Phillies cross the plate. The deadline trade of Will Smith did move Lee up slightly in the pecking order when it comes to lefties in the Atlanta bullpen, but he remains firmly behind A.J. Minter (18 holds) when it comes to high-leverage duty despite Lee's impressive 1.61 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 31:4 K:BB through 28 innings on the year.
Jun 27 2022Lee gave up a hit and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander took over for Spencer Strider to begin the seventh inning and retired the first two batters he faced before giving up a single to Chris Taylor and getting the hook. Lee remains third in the pecking order among southpaws in the Atlanta bullpen behind Will Smith and A.J. Minter, but that hasn't stopped him from posting a 0.59 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB through 15.1 innings over 11 appearances since rejoining the big-league roster in late May.
May 23 2022Lee was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The reliever will join the big-league club for the second time this season after failing to enter a game during his first stint in April. Lee has pitched 14.1 innings with a 2.51 ERA and 1.13 WHIP while striking out 23 batters over 13 appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett this season. To make space on the active roster, Tyler Thornburg was designated for assignment Monday.
Apr 19 2022Atlanta recalled Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In order to open up a spot for the left-handed Lee, Atlanta designated southpaw Sean Newcomb for assignment. Lee appeared in just two regular-season games for Atlanta in 2021, but he made three appearances in the playoffs during the club's run to the World Series crown last fall. He'll likely see most of his usage out of the bullpen in lower-leverage spots as he makes his return to the 28-man active roster.
Mar 31 2022Lee was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lee made his big-league debut last season but threw just two innings, so he was likely always a long shot to break camp with the team. His excellent 54:6 K:BB and 1.54 ERA in 46.2 innings
Oct 30 2021Lee will start Game 4 of the World Series against the Astros on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Brian Snitker had previously indicated the team would go with an opener in Game 4 with a 2-1 series lead, but that opener was a mystery until Saturday afternoon. It will be Lee, who has made two appearances so far this postseason, allowing three hits -- including a homer -- over 2.2 innings. Lee spent most of the year at Triple-A, not debuting for the big-league team until the final days of the regular season.
Oct 20 2021Lee was added to Atlanta's NLCS roster Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old wasn't included on the initial roster for the NLCS, but he'll join the bullpen mix with Huascar Ynoa (shoulder) going down with an injury. Lee made his big-league debut during the final weekend of the regular season, and he spent the rest of the year at Triple-A Gwinnett, where he posted a 1.54 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 54:6 K:BB across 46.2 innings.
Oct 1 2021Lee was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old was sent to Triple-A last weekend but will quickly rejoin the big-league club with Edgar Santana (ribs) heading to the injured list. Lee has a 1.54 EA, 0.76 WHIP and 54:6 K:BB over 46.2 innings for Gwinnett this season, and he's looking to make his MLB debut.
Sep 22 2021Atlanta selected Lee's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll assume the active roster spot of fellow reliever Edgar Santana, who was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move. After Atlanta used six relievers to cover nine frames in a bullpen game in Tuesday's 6-1 win, Lee could be needed to eat innings in Wednesday's series finale if starter Ian Anderson is knocked out of the contest early. Over 45.2 innings at Triple-A this season, the 27-year-old lefty has posted a 1.58 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 52:6 K:BB.
