The Giants’ rookie center fielder dislocated his shoulder Sunday and is expected to miss a substantial amount of time.
San Francisco Giants’ Jung Hoo Lee is escorted to the locker room by a trainer after injuring himself attempting to catch a fly ball hit by Cincinnati Reds’ Jeimer Candelario in the first inning of their MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants will know more about the outlook for Jung Hoo Lee when their rookie center fielder meets with Dr.
“It takes a little while to process this,” the Giants manager said of his 25-year-old center fielder after talking with his interpreter, Justin Han, in the aftermath of the injury. “He’s very team-oriented and wants to be out there for his team and therefore is disappointed, but there’s not much you can do about it.
As their primary leadoff hitter, Lee has elite at putting the ball in play, one of three qualified batters who are striking out in fewer than 10% of their plate appearances . On the bases, his speed hasn’t translated to as many steals as the Giants would like but still provides the threat to run unlike anyone besides Thairo Estrada.
That speed — and effort — was exemplified all the way until Lee collided with the outfield wall Sunday afternoon.
