The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Jung Hoo Lee on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left shoulder and are still awaiting word on the severity of the injury.
Lee hurt his shoulder in the first inning on Sunday when it hit the right-center field wall as he leaped to try to make a catch on a drive by Cincinnati's Jeimer Candelario.Lee underwent an MRI on Monday and was set to meet with team doctors later in the day to determine the next steps of his recovery. Manager Bob Melvin said he won't know how much time Lee will miss until after he meets with doctors but said he didn't anticipate that surgery will be needed.
641 OPS in 37 games as he adjusts to a new league but has excelled in the field.'He's very team oriented and wants to be out there for his team and therefore is disappointed,' Melvin said. 'But there's not much you can do about it. You make an all out effort like that to catch a ball in the first inning. If you make that play it's a huge momentum swing. Now all of a sudden our center fielder is down. ... I'm sure he's feeling it right now.
