Joins roster for World Series Lee was added to the Astros' World Series roster on Saturday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lee will join the team in place of Yuli Gurriel, who suffered a knee injury in Game 5. He's unlikely to be anything more than injury insurance behind the plate, allowing Christian Vazquez to serve as the designated hitter while Trey Mancini takes Gurriel's spot at first base.

Heads to minors The Astros optioned Lee to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

Impact Lee slashed .160/.192/.240 with a pair of doubles and four RBI in 26 plate appearances after his July 1 call-up. The small sample size doesn't say much about Lee as a prospect or a player, but now he returns to the minors to clear space for the newly acquired Christian Vazquez. Barring injury to Vazquez or Martin Maldonado, Lee is unlikely to see more big-league action in 2022.

Three hits, three RBI in win Lee went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact Lee knocked in half of the Astros' runs with an RBI single in the fifth inning and a two-run double in the seventh. The 23-year-old catcher had gone 0-for-4 with a walk in his first three big league games, making one start in that stretch. With veteran Martin Maldonado around, Lee's playing time is likely to be limited to one or two starts a week, though an extended stretch of good hitting could help Lee force his way into the lineup more often while Jason Castro (knee) is out.

Draws first big-league start Lee went 0-for-2 with a walk Monday against the Royals.

Impact Lee hit ninth and worked behind the plate in his first big-league start. He went hitless but did manage to work a walk in the seventh inning. With Jason Castro (knee) sidelined, Lee should have a role as the team's backup catcher. However, it's unclear how much he may be able to contribute at the dish as he is hitless across four at-bats and maintained just a .704 OPS at Triple-A Sugar Land prior to being recalled.

Earns first career call-up Lee was called up by the Astros on Friday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Lee is a fairly interesting prospect, with an excellent arm and good raw power, but there are questions about his hit tool. He hasn't had success at the Triple-A level, hitting .226/.285/.419 for Sugar Land through 64 games, good for just a 71 wRC+. He's presumably set to back up Martin Maldonado with Jason Castro (knee) landing on the injured list.
