Nabs sixth hold Lee struck out both batters he faced Monday to record his sixth hold of the season in a 4-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact 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.

Notches first save Lee pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Arizona.

Impact This was Lee's sixth straight scoreless outing, spanning 6.2 innings. During that time, he's taken a blown save -- by allowing an inherited runner to score on a wild pitch -- while adding a hold and a win. Overall, Lee has been steady as he works up the ranks in Atlanta's bullpen hierarchy. The left-hander has a 2.19 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB with a 1-1 record, one save, three holds and two blown saves over 12.1 innings. Raisel Iglesias is still the closer but has shown some significant inconsistency early in 2025, so Lee could be a closing option if Atlanta pivots to a committee approach at some point this season.

Pitcher of record in comeback win Lee (1-1) picked up the win Saturday against the Rays, giving up two hits and a walk in a scoreless eighth inning.

Impact 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.

Locked into setup role Lee 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.

Impact Pierce Johnson will be the team's main right-hander 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.

Once a pleasant surprise, Dylan Lee now longest-tenured Braves reliever NORTH PORT, Fla. – Dylan Lee was once a bullpen’s pleasant surprise. The Braves could use another couple Dylan Lees right now.

MARCH 2, 2025 • AJC.COM

Signs deal for 2025 Lee agreed to a one-year, $1.025 million contract with Atlanta on Thursday to avoid arbitration.

Impact 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. Lee recorded nine holds and could work in a setup role in 2025 if he remains similarly effective.

Summoned from minors Atlanta recalled Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Lee to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact 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) from the injured list. It should only be a matter of time before Lee is back in the big leagues.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Credited with win Sunday Lee (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.

Impact 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.

Braves place Ramón Laureano on injured list, recall Dylan Lee amid several moves PHOENIX – After a two-day hiatus, left-handed reliever Dylan Lee is back on the Braves roster.

JULY 10, 2024 • AJC.COM

Back in majors Atlanta recalled Lee from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

JULY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Lee to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact 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.

JULY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes shoulder procedure Lee underwent a cleanup procedure on his left shoulder Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to 60-day IL Lee (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Braves reliever Dylan Lee shut down for rest of season In May, Lee went on the IL with the same designation and required a few months before returning.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • AJC.COM

Moved to 15-day IL Atlanta placed Lee on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder inflammation.

Impact 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 seems doubtful to return to the NL East leaders in 2023.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to Gwinnett Lee was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Impact 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.
