Former Alabama baseball relief pitcher Chase Lee was back on the mound Sunday for MLB's Detroit Tigers. He tossed a scoreless inning in the team's 6-1 loss against the Texas Rangers.

Lee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo late last week and called up again Saturday. The club is likely to continue maneuvering him within its roster, as multiple trips up and down per season are allowed in a player's option years.

Still, he has been acquitting himself to the major league level in a small sample size. Lee debuted on April 22 and has since appeared in eight games, posting an ERA right at 1.00 to date with the Tigers.
