The Blue Jays optioned Lee to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Lee will be pushed out of Toronto's bullpen after giving up four earned runs in just one inning during his last appearance Thursday against Boston. Ricky Tiedemann will come up from Buffalo to replenish the Blue Jays' bullpen depth.

The Blue Jays recalled Lee from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.

Aug 11Rotowire

Just four days after being optioned to Buffalo, Lee will rejoin the big-league club on Tuesday. In five appearances with Toronto this year, the 27-year-old owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 2:5 K:BB and one save through 5.1 innings. The Blue Jays sent Jameson Taillon (forearm) to the 15-day IL on Tuesday, clearing a spot on the active roster for Lee.

The move makes room on the Blue Jays' 26-man roster for newcomer Matt Waldron. Lee appeared in two games out of Toronto's bullpen after being recalled Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter across two frames. He has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, five saves and a 40:18 K:BB over 45 innings.

Lee recorded his first career big-league save Wednesday, giving up one unearned run on one hit in the 10th inning of a 5-4 win over the Astros. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

Tyler Rogers worked the eighth inning and Louis Varland the ninth to keep the game tied at 3-3, leaving Lee as the surprise recipient of a save chance after the Blue Jays took a lead in the top of the 10th. The right-hander did allow the phantom runner to score on a Yordan Alvarez single, but Lee wound up needing just five pitches (all strikes) to finish things out. While he's had success at Triple-A Buffalo this season, Lee's 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 1:4 K:BB through 4.1 MLB innings this season will limit him to a lower-leverage role for the most part.

Lee will make his way to the majors with the club in need of some relief help out of the bullpen. With Buffalo, the 27-year-old has posted a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB over 45 innings this season. Toronto demoted Chad Dallas to Buffalo in order to make room for Lee on the active roster.
