The Tigers optioned Lee to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following the Tigers' plethora of bullpen additions over the last few days, Lee is the odd man out after he's been getting hit hard in recent outings. Lee has registered a 4.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB across his first 37.1 major-league innings.

Lee allowed four runs on four hits in just an inning of work in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
With the Tigers down 2-0 entering the top of the ninth inning, Lee let things get out of hand with one of his worst outings of the season. The rookie righty started his campaign by posting a 2.05 ERA across his first 25 games, but he now has a 15.88 ERA over his last six appearances, getting tagged for multiple runs three times during the stretch. Fatigue is potentially becoming a factor for Lee, and the team could decide to send him back to Triple-A Toledo at some point for a reset.

Lee tossed two scoreless innings of relief with three strikeouts in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Lee allowed six runs across two appearances earlier this month, but he's bounced back with three straight scoreless outings. The rookie righty has been good overall with a 3.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 35.1 innings this year. Lee generally sees low-leverage work, which limits his fantasy upside, though the 26-year-old is making a case for a larger role in future seasons based on his promising debut.

Lee (4-1) allowed four runs on five hits while retiring only one batter to take the loss Wednesday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Lee entered in the sixth inning with Detroit leading 3-2 and unraveled quickly to take his first loss in the majors. The rookie righty had been pitching well, as he came into the game with a 2.05 ERA across 30.2 innings, but he saw that number jump up to 3.19. Lee will look to get back on track soon, and his performance to date suggests he'll be able to shake off his first truly rough outing at the MLB level.

Lee (4-0) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Sunday's 7-2, extra-inning victory over Cleveland. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
Lee retired the last two batters of the eighth inning and then worked the ninth, which set him up for the win when the Tigers erupted for six runs in the top of the 10th. The righty has been effective in his rookie season, posting a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts across 30.2 innings. Lee has also managed to give Detroit some length out of the bullpen, as he's retired four or more batters 11 times through his 25 appearances to date.

Lee (2-0) tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Royals. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
After Detroit starter Keider Montero went 4.2 innings, Lee was asked to face four batters in the middle innings, and he retired all four on only 12 pitches. The rookie righty has been effective with a 1.15 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 15 strikeouts across 15.2 innings. Lee could see his role in the Tigers' bullpen continue to grow as the season progresses based on his promising early results.

Lee worked around two hits to toss two scoreless innings of relief and earn a hold in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
After starter Jack Flaherty fired six scoreless innings, Lee followed with a scoreless seventh and eighth to earn his first MLB hold. The 26-year-old has been good for the Tigers in his debut campaign, posting a 1.26 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 14 strikeouts across 14.1 innings so far. Lee has only been scored upon twice in 11 appearances.

Lee (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Lee followed Brant Hurter, who tossed three innings as the opener, and kept St. Louis off the board in the fourth and fifth. The effort earned Lee his first career win in his ninth appearance at the MLB level, all of which have come this season. The righty has pitched well when given an opportunity, as he's now sitting with a 0.82 ERA and 11 strikeouts across 11 innings of work.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's taking the roster spot vacated by Reese Olson (finger), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Lee has permitted only one run with a 9:4 K:BB over nine innings during his multiple stints in the majors this season.

Lee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lee pitched in back-to-back games after getting recalled Saturday and will head back to the minors. He has logged scoreless appearances in seven of eight games for the big club, so Lee should be back up in the not-too-distant future.
