Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants), who continued to miss the exhibition game due to back pain, will return this week.

According to the Major League's official website "MLB Dotcom" on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), San Francisco coach Bob Melvin said in a meeting with local reporters, "Lee Jung-hoo can return to the lineup against the Cleveland Guardians on the 22nd."

Lee Jung-hoo developed back pain while sleeping in the wrong position last weekend. As a result, he has not played since the game against the Texas Rangers on the 14th.

Fortunately, no major abnormalities were found in the detailed diagnosis through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Lee Jung-hoo continues to receive treatment.

San Francisco plans to send Lee to three exhibition games including the game against Cleveland on Tuesday. Expectations are high that Lee will be able to play in the regular season opener, which starts on Friday.

"I think about three games will be enough," Melvin said, but added, "We need to see if Lee Jung-hoo's physical condition improves after tomorrow's rest day. Sometimes such injuries last longer than expected."

Lee Jung-hoo, who signed a six-year, $113 million contract with San Francisco last year, suffered a shoulder injury in his first season in the big league, playing only 37 games and ending the season early. 메이저사이트

Lee Jung-hoo, who returned from rehabilitation, is active in this year's exhibition game with a batting average of 0.300 (9 hits in 30 at-bats), two homers, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.967.
