Lee was reassigned Saturday by the Twins to minor-league camp, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Lee was Minnesota's first-round pick in 2022, and struggled in his limited Grapefruit League action with a slash line of .182/.229/.242 over 35 plate appearances. He'll likely begin the season with Double-A Wichita, and he could see time with the Twins before the end of 2023.
Twins' Brooks Lee: Reaches Double-A in draft season
Rotowire
Lee played his final two games of 2022 in Double-A, going 3-for-8 to round out a pro debut that saw him slash .303/.389/.451 with four home runs and a 16:20 BB:K across three levels of the minors.
The No. 8 overall pick in this year's draft, Lee didn't look out of place at any of his three minor-league stops, continuing to show off the hitting ability that made him such a high draft choice. Just 21 years old, Lee will likely start 2023 in Double-A and could be pushing for a major-league roster spot by midseason, though Carlos Correa is set to man shortstop in Minnesota for the next two seasons.

Lee was selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft. As a 21-year old college player (Cal Poly), it's not a surprise he moved up right away. He could quickly advance next season.
