San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee out for the season due to shoulder injury

Jung Hoo Lee, a player for the San Francisco Giants, hurt his shoulder crashing into a wall while playing baseball. He needs surgery on his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season. The team announced this on Friday. The manager, Bob Melvin, said it's sad for Lee and the team because he was an important player. Lee, who is a rookie, signed a big contract after playing well in South Korea. He had surgery on the same shoulder in 2018. He was hitting .262 with two home runs in 37 games before getting injured. The Giants got different medical opinions about Lee's injury. Some said he could wait until the end of the season for surgery. But they decided it was best for him to have surgery now. The team was disappointed because Lee was doing well and they expected him to keep improving. This injury is a setback for the Giants this season. Lee's injury happened when he tried to catch a ball and hit the wall. He was playing as the leadoff hitter and center fielder for the Giants. The team signed him to a big contract because of his success in South Korea. The Giants were hoping for a better season after not doing well last year. Other players on the Giants team have also been dealing with injuries. The team is waiting to hear more about Lee's injury and how long he will be out. They want him to recover well before he plays again.
