Giants’ Jung Hoo Lee Undergoes Tests for Persistent Back Discomfort

The center fielder, sidelined since March 13, awaits MRI results as his Opening Day availability remains uncertain.

Jung Hoo Lee has been dealing with persistent mid-back tightness since March 13, unrelated to baseball activity, according to the Giants.
Despite rest and treatment, Lee's condition has not improved, prompting an MRI and evaluation by Dr. Kenneth Akizuki on March 17.
Lee, who missed most of the 2024 season due to shoulder surgery, had been excelling in spring training with a .300/.400/.567 slash line in 12 games.
The Giants signed Lee to a six-year, $113 million contract last winter, underscoring his importance to their long-term plans.
While the team remains cautiously optimistic for Lee’s return during spring training, they are preparing contingency plans for potential Opening Day roster adjustments.
