The Atlanta Braves announced a roster move Monday in advance of their series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. The team has recalled left-handed reliever Dylan Lee to the major league roster and designated right-hander Tyler Thornburg for assignment.
Lee made 14 appearances at Gwinnett and struck out 23 hitters in 15 2/3 innings while posting a 2.30 ERA and a 2.58 FIP. He was on the major league roster for a brief stretch in April, but did not get into a game before being optioned back to Gwinnett.
Thornburg appeared in nine games for the Braves allowing four earned runs in 9 1/3 innings.
