The Dodgers released Lee on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old righty had spent the entire season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he posted a 3.91 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB in 25.1 innings. With a promotion to the big club not imminent, Lee likely chose to opt out of his minor-league contract in pursuit of an opportunity with another organization.

Lee signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers which includes an invitation to spring training, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After pitching in Japan in 2016, Lee returned stateside and spent 2017 with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate, posting a lackluster 5.54 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 37.1 innings. Expect the right-hander to serve as organizational bullpen depth in 2018.

Lee was invited to Rockies camp for spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Lee inked a minor league deal with the Rockies last month, and it was just announced that he received an invite to spring training. He spent 2016 pitching in Japan, but logged 34 innings with the Indians from 2013-2015. The 30-year-old should serve as organizational bullpen depth in 2017.

Lee signed a minor league deal with the Rockies on Friday, Baseball America's Matt Eddy reports.

EDGE Analysis

He spent 2016 pitching in Japan, but logged MLB experience with the Indians from 2013 to 2015. It is unclear if this contract includes an invitation to spring training. He should serve as organizational bullpen depth in 2017.

Lee had his contract sold to the Seibu Lions of the Nippon Professional Baseball League on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lee had appeared sparingly in the big league bullpen, but spent most of the 2015 season with Triple-A. He'll spend the 2016 season in Japan in hopes of taking on a more significant role.

Lee was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Tribe brought in some reinforcements for the final two weeks, promoting Lee to the bullpen and adding first baseman Jesus Aguilar and catcher Adam Moore. Aside from one appearance with the big club back in June, Lee spent the entire year at Columbus, posting a 3.39 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 65:16 K:BB in 58.1 innings.

Lee was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. The right-hander made his season debut with Cleveland on Friday, allowing one run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning against Detroit. Lee was sent right back down to make room for Scott Atchison (ankle), but figures to get another opportunity when the Indians find themselves in need of a fresh arm.

Lee was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, the Northeast Ohio Media Group's Paul Hoynes reports. A lifetime reliever, Lee has posted a 11.35 K/9 ratio at Triple-A and has a 2.35 ERA to match. Cody Allen seems to have settled down in the closer role after a bumpy start, so Lee will pitch in the middle innings.

Lee has been optioned to triple-A, MLB.com reports. In seven innings of spring ball, Lee has posted a 5.14 ERA with a WHIP of 1.57. He was called up late last season to pitch in relief, and that will likely be his role again if he's needed at all this year.

Lee will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus prior to Thursday's game. Lee will take the roster spot of Danny Salazar, who was optioned to Triple-A following an underwhelming start Wednesday. During previous stints with the club, Lee allowed six earned runs over 12.2 innings, with a 13:4 K:BB ratio. He'll serve a similar role in middle relief this time around.
