Dylan Lee

Dylan Lee has won his arbitration hearing against the Atlanta Braves and will make $2.2 million in 2026. The Braves filed at $2 million.

Fantasy Impact

Lee has been the unsung hero of the Braves' bullpen over the last couple of seasons. The southpaw pitched to a 3.29 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP in 74 appearances with Atlanta last season. In 68.1 innings, he walked only 14 batters, struck out 74, but did allow 13 home runs. In 2024, Lee pitched to a 2.11 ERA in 59.2 innings. He has a career ERA of 2.82 in 204.1 innings across parts of five seasons with the Braves and should be a vital arm again in 2026. Lee can be useful for fantasy owners in leagues that feature ratios and holds as categories.

Dylan Lee allowed three earned runs on two hits and one walk in just 0.1 innings of work during Tuesday’s loss to the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

The normally reliable lefty saw his ERA spike after a rare blow-up, but he still maintains a strong season line with a 2.37 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 38 innings. He remains a solid SV+HLD asset and should rebound quickly from this outing.

Dylan Lee recorded a four-out save with two strikeouts on Monday against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Lee recorded the final four Mets hitters to earn his second save on the season. It remains a committee for saves in the Braves bullpen.

Dylan Lee will start the season as a key setup man for Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias, per team updates, alongside Pierce Johnson and Aaron Bummer in high-leverage roles.

Fantasy Impact

Lee’s 7:1 K:BB over 5 Grapefruit League innings this spring locks him in as a top lefty setup option for Atlanta, potentially topping his 9 holds from 2022 and 2024. His camp dominance stands out. Fantasy managers in deep leagues or hold leagues should roster him, eyeing his value in front of Iglesias early on.

The Braves optioned Dylan Lee to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Fantasy Impact

Lee was optioned with Max Fried activated from the injured list.
