6 months & season out until recovery

San Francisco said on the 18th (Korea Standard Time), "Lee Jung-hoo is scheduled to undergo shoulder surgery within two weeks and will not return this season."

Lee Jung-hoo started as the first center fielder at a home game against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on Tuesday. He ran into a fence in the top of the first inning while chasing after Jaymer Candelario to catch his ball. Lee, who collapsed on the ground, failed to get up. After complaining of pain for a while, Lee was helped off the field by head trainer Dave Grossner. Tyler Fitzgerald replaced Lee. 토토사이트먹튀

Manager Bob Melvin said, "Lee is in poor shoulder condition. He has a dislocated shoulder and needs to take an MRI scan, but it certainly doesn't look good." Lee, who was known to have avoided major injury in the beginning, was found to have structural damage to his left shoulder on Saturday.

After a second checkup at a meeting with Dr. Neal Elatrache, who is well-known in the U.S. sports community, Lee was diagnosed that he needs surgery. It will take six months for him to rehabilitate after the surgery, and he will no longer be able to see him this season.

Lee, who signed a six-year contract with the San Francisco Giants for a total of 113 million U.S. dollars, had a batting average of 343 percent (12 hits from 35 times at bat), one homer, five RBIs, six runs scored and two steals, displaying an excellent batting performance at exhibition games. He had a batting average of 262 percent (38 hits from 145 times at bat), two homers, eight RBIs, 15 runs and two steals in 37 games during the regular season.
