6:51PM : Lee suffered a dislocated shoulder, as per a team announcement (correcting an earlier statement from manager Bob Melvin). Lee will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the damage, and a more severe dislocation could po sibly put his season in jeopardy. 4:38PM : Giants center fielder left todays game with the Reds after suffering what the Giants later announced was a left shoulder strain. Lee made a leaping attempt to catch a fly ball in the first inning, but the ball hit the top of the wall for a three-run double, while Lees arm made hard contact with the padding atop the fence. The awkward collision left Lee in obvious pain, and he was favoring his left arm as he left the field with the team trainer. Manager Bob Melvin will surely provide media with an update on Lee following the game, but it certainly looks like a trip to the 10-day injured list is in order. Lee was just making his return to the lineup today after mi sing San Franciscos previous three games with a minor foot injury, after he fouled a pitch off himself in Wednesdays 8-6 win over the Rockies. Lees situation adds to the Giants recent injury woes, as the team has lost five position players to the IL in a little over a weeks time. was just placed on the 10-day IL earlier today due to a hamstring strain, with Conforto joining (concu sion symptoms), (wrist sprain), (shoulder strain), and backup catcher (knee sprain) on the sidelines. was activated from the seven-day concu sion-related IL yesterday, but was a late scratch from todays lineup, as the catcher is dealing with a viral illne s and could po Amine Jersey sibly mi s a few more days. Losing all of these regulars isnt good news for a team that was already having trouble generating offense, and the Giants will have a particular i sue in the outfield with Lee, Conforto, and Slater all out. was called up to take Confortos roster spot today, so hell join , , and utilityman in trying to fill in all the gaps in the outfield depth chart. and could also chip in for corner outfield duty, and might be the next call-up from Triple-A since Meckler is already on the 40-man roster. For Lee himself, a significant injury would be a very unfortunate way to begin his first season in Major League Baseball. The outfielder signed a six-year, $113MM deal (the fourth-largest contract for any free agent last winter) with the Giants back in December, with the team also adding a $18.825MM posting fee to the Kiwoom Heroes, Lees old Korea Baseball Organization club. Lee doesnt turn 26 until August, so the combination of his youth and his big numbers in the KBO League made him an attractive commodity in free agency, and the priciest acquisition of a very busy San Francisco offseason. The results have been mixed over Lees first first 37 games, which isnt surprising for a player getting his first taste of North American baseball whatsoever, let alone the majors. Lee entered todays action hitting .262/.310/.331 over 158 plate appearances, translating to an 89 wRC+. The pluses include some solid center field defense and a lot of contact, as Lee has been one of the hardest hitter in the league to strike out this season. However, Lee hasnt done much with all his contact, as his hard-hit ball rate is only slightly above average, and he isnt generating much power. Clyde Drexler Jersey
