Secures save Monday Lee struck out two batters over 1.1 perfect innings Monday while earning a save over the Mets.

Impact 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.

Works ninth inning Friday Lee gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday during a 12-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact 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.

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.

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.

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.
