NEW YORK — Pitcher Zach Lee, the Dodgers’ first-round draft pick in 2010 who was enjoying an outstanding season at Triple-A, will be recalled to start tonight’s game against the Mets at Citi Field.
Lee has only spent one day on the Dodgers’ active roster, last Saturday in Washington D.C. when teams were allowed to carry 26 players for one game. Lee didn’t pitch and returned to Oklahoma City the next day.
In 12 starts at Triple-A, Lee was 7-3 with a 2.36 ERA. He last pitched on Monday, July 20, allowing two runs on four hits in 7.0 innings and has combined to go 9-3 with a 2.29 ERA, a .227 opponents’ batting average and a 1.00 WHIP in 14 minor league appearances this year with Oklahoma City, Single-A Rancho Cucamonga and the Rookie-level AZL Dodgers.
A corresponding roster move will be announced later.
