It is a difficult condition due to a sudden back pain. His team San Francisco seems to be sensitive to back pain of Lee Jung-hoo, who was selected as the main outfielder early on, and is protecting him. This is because Lee Jung-hoo, who rarely used it due to injuries and surgery at the beginning of last season, hopes to contribute to the team in normal condition this season. He was excluded from the exhibition game for three consecutive days from the 15th to treat pain.
Lee Jung-hoo rested without playing in the Oakland Athletics match of the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) exhibition game held at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona on the 17th (Korea time). He focused on conditioning without playing as a substitute.

If it is fortunate, Lee Jung-hoo's back injury did not occur during the game. According to local media, Lee Jung-hoo developed back pain while sleeping last weekend. It's a simple muscle pain that's often referred to as 'Bile is stuck'. It's a minor injury that can happen to anyone.
However, the recovery period varies widely from individual to individual. There is no specific cause, but it is caused by an imbalance in bedtime posture, so there are various treatment methods. You should relax your muscles by resting, stretching enough, massage, and muscle relaxation injections.

The US media Rotoboller reportedly said 'Lee's injuries are not serious. He predicted that he will be ready to play normally until the opening game.
The San Francisco club and local media in the U.S. already see Lee Jung-hoo as the team's main outfielder. Lee Jung-hoo joined San Francisco on a six-year - $113 million (about 163.8 billion won) unconventional condition through posting in December 2023. Since then, he has been listed in the opening entry with a batting average of 343 (12 hits in 35 at-bats) and a good performance of 0.911 OPS in the exhibition game.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had a consistent performance for the rookie at the beginning of the 2024 season, started as the No. 1 center fielder against the Cincinnati Reds on May 12 and suffered a bad luck in colliding with the fence in the process of catching an outfield ball during defense in the top of the first inning. After that, Lee Jung-hoo decided to have surgery on his left shoulder and was out for the season. Lee Jung-hoo spent the rest of 2024 undergoing surgery and rehabilitation.

In this situation, when back pain occurred, it can be said that San Francisco issued its own 'special protection decree' for Lee Jung-hoo. Therefore, it is highly likely to refrain from participating in exhibition games as much as possible until back pain completely disappears. The verification of his skills has already been completed. After all the back pain disappears, he is expected to play in one or two games at the end of the exhibition game to restore his sense of play and then play in the opening game on March 28.
