Lee Jeong-hoo (San Francisco Giants), who is taking a break due to left hamstring (back muscle) pain, will undergo a re-examination on the 20th (Korean time).
Local media, including CBS Sports and The Mercury News, reported on the 19th that “Lee Jung-hoo will undergo a re-examination on the 20th to determine the time for his return to Major League Baseball (MLB) exhibition games.”
Lee Jung-hoo started in an exhibition game against the Cincinnati Reds on the 14th and recorded 1 hit, 1 walk, and 1 run at bat before being replaced early in the 4th inning.
At the time, San Francisco coach Bob Melvin explained that he decided to replace Lee Jeong-hoo because he felt some stiffness in the back of his leg.
The San Francisco team banned Lee Jeong-hoo from baseball-related activities for two to three days to prevent his hamstring muscle pain from worsening.
Since it is not a major injury, Lee Jeong-hoo is expected to return to the MLB exhibition game if there are no major problems as a result of the examination.
Lee Jeong-hoo, who signed a six-year, $113 million (approximately 151.1 billion won) contract with San Francisco and moved to the United States, participated in nine MLB exhibition games and posted a batting average of 0.348 (8 hits in 23 at-bats), 1 home run, 3 RBIs, 4 runs, and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) is recording 0.945. 스포츠토토맨
