Lee, who went on the 60-day disabled list in September due to a back injury, has given up a run in each of his first two outings this spring.
In each appearance, both times against the Pirates, Lee gave up one run and two hits while striking out two. Although he appears recovered from his back issue that has kept him out since early June , the 24-year-old still appears to be knocking off some rust. While he has shown potential to be a dominant, hard-throwing left-hander, Lee will need to demonstrate more consistency in future outings in order to accelerate his development.
