Lee will debut, start Dodgers' tilt with Mets

NEW YORK -- The Dodgers finally made it official, calling up right-hander Zach Lee from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make his Major League debut as Saturday night's starting pitcher against the Mets.

A corresponding roster move will be made before the game.

Lee -- ranked 12th among Dodgers prospects by MLB.com -- is starting in the rotation spot last occupied by Brandon Beachy, who was optioned to Triple-A after two shaky starts in his return from a second Tommy John operation.

The late roster shuffling was necessitated by Zack Greinke, who was scratched from his scheduled start Friday night and instead flew to Los Angeles for the birth of his first child.
