Lee signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on June 7 and was assigned to Double-A Chattanooga.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old outfielder had been playing for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball before the Reds elected to bring him back to affiliated ball. Lee previously saw action in the majors with the Marlins in 2018, going 3-for-17 over eight games with the club.

Lee was outrighted to Double-A Jacksonville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lee made his big-league debut in 2018, though he hit just .176/.222/.176 across eight games with the Marlins and spent the majority of the season on the farm (hitting a combined .233/.316/.294 across three levels). With multiple prospects ahead of him on Miami's depth chart, Lee looks to be an organizational depth piece in 2019.

Lee was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

After struggling in his major-league debut in 2018 -- hitting just .176/.222/.176 across eight games -- the Marlins decided Lee was less important than other prospects in need of protection from the Rule 5 draft. Lee will now take a spin through waivers to determine his next landing spot.

Lee (hamstring) was reinstated from the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, New Orleans radio broadcaster Tim Grubbs reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee was shut down for about a month after sustaining the hamstring injury in late April. Prior to rejoining the Triple-A club Tuesday and going 2-for-5 with a pair of runs in New Orleans' 9-8 win over Sacramento, Lee appeared in 11 rehab games between High-A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville, so it appears he has been reasonably healthy for quite some time. The 24-year-old will likely get another cup of coffee with the big club at some point later this season, but it may take an injury or two for him to see consistent starts in the Miami outfield.

Lee hasn't played in Triple-A New Orleans' last two games due to a hamstring injury, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

New Orleans has thus far resisted moving Lee to the 7-day disabled list, though that could change if the outfielder fails to demonstrate meaningful progress in the next day or two. Lee, who appeared in eight games with the big club earlier this season, is hitting .186/.265/.186 at New Orleans.

Lee was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee struggled in his first taste of the majors, going just 3-for-17 (.176) with eight strikeouts. He'll head back to the minors for more seasoning, allowing veteran outfielder J.B. Shuck to head to the big leagues.

Lee was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans prior to Thursday's game, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, the club placed outfielder Garrett Cooper (wrist) on the 10-day disabled list. Lee initially cracked the Opening Day roster but was optioned to New Orleans on Sunday after appearing in the first two games of the season. Expect him to be utilized as a reserve outfielder.

Lee was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lee managed to sneak on the Opening Day roster to provide outfield depth, but was not utilized in the starting lineup over the team's first three games. With Garrett Cooper (wrist) healthy and set to split right field duties with Cameron Maybin, there wouldn't have been many at-bats available for Lee anyway. Instead, he'll head to the minors, allowing Miami to add an extra arm.

The Marlins recalled Lee from Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction confirms that Lee earned a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder. Since he lacks power and hasn't seen any plate appearances above the Double-A level, Lee will likely see most of opportunities as a late-inning pinch runner or defensive replacement.

Lee has made the Marins' Opening Day roster, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has yet to appear above Double-A in his professional career, but he'll open the season as a reserve outfielder for the Marlins thanks to a lack of better options. The 24-year-old has flashed some speed (20 stolen bases in 127 games at Double-A in 2017), but lacks power (three homers in four minor-league seasons). While he could contribute for the depleted Marlins in 2018, he doesn't figure to offer much from a fantasy standpoint.
