Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Dylan Lee (shoulder) is expected to be ready in time for spring training. The left-hander was sidelined from mid-May until September due to shoulder inflammation. After that, Lee struggled in four appearances and was shut down for the rest of the season. When healthy, Lee has been a reliable option out of the bullpen for the Braves. Since debuting in 2021, Lee holds a 2.95 ERA over 76 1/3 innings of work.

Atlanta Braves left-hander Dylan Lee (shoulder) hasn't started a minor-league rehab assignment yet, but he hasn't had any setbacks. The Braves are just being careful with him, and they expect him to return to their bullpen at some point in August. Once Lee does go on a rehab assignment, he won't need many appearances before he's activated from the injured list. The 28-year-old southpaw has been out almost two months with left-shoulder inflammation while the Braves slow play his return. In 20 1/3 innings over 20 appearances (one start) for the Braves before his injury, Lee had a 3.10 ERA (3.33 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, seven walks and 23 strikeouts.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Dylan Lee will start Game 4 of the World Series against the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Lee made just four appearances for Atlanta this year. Two came in early October at the end of the regular season against the New York Mets, while the last two have come in the playoffs. The left-hander has allowed three hits, an earned run, and a home run in 2.2 innings in the postseason. He most recently recorded a pair of outs in Atlanta's Game 2 loss against Houston.
