San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo avoided the worst. MRI examination revealed no serious injuries. It is expected that he will be able to return to the game as early as the weekend.
San Francisco coach Bob Melvin held an interview with local media in Scottsdale, Arizona, where spring training is taking place on the 19th (Korea time) and will give him a break for the time being. We play two games here and three games at home. I think that's enough time for Lee to return"Maybe Lee Jung-hoo won't run during that period. But hopefully after that break, I'll be able to run."
In the meantime "Sometimes these injuries last a little longer than expected. I don't want to pressure Lee Jung-hoo to play on Friday."
In response, local media outlet The Mercury News reported that `Lee Jung-hoo's back MRI showed no structural damage, so he can play from Friday (local time).' According to Melvin, Lee Jung-hoo feels stiff in the middle and upper back. His condition has improved somewhat, and he will soon see a chiropractor.'"
The media continued 'Lee Jung-hoo does not have to enter many at-bats before the opening. Melvin said he was very satisfied with three exhibition games between now and the opening day.
The San Francisco Chronicle also found that there was no structural damage after the MRI examination. He will continue his rehabilitation to return from a back injury, he reported.

San Francisco has five games left, and Lee Jung-hoo can play against Cleveland on the 22nd because the game against Kansas City is away on the 20th and there is no game on the 21st. It is a return match for Lee Jung-hoo, caught by head coach Melvin.
If the pain remains, there is a possibility of returning during the last two consecutive games against the Detroit Tigers at Oracle Park, the home of the regular season, from the 25th to the 26th. Anyway, it became possible to play in the opening game. San Francisco will play its opening game against the Cincinnati Reds on the road on the 28th.
Lee Jung-hoo played in 12 games before the injury and marked a batting average of 0.300 (9 hits in 30 at-bats), two homers, five RBIs, nine runs, four walks, seven strikeouts, and an OPS of 0.967.
He has missed five consecutive days since playing against the Texas Rangers on the 14th. Lee Jung-hoo, who missed the Milwaukee Brewers on the 15th for a break, tried to play against the Seattle Mariners on the 16th, but was urgently excluded from the lineup due to back pain. Lee Jung-hoo explained that he felt pain because he did not sleep well at night.
As the pain did not go away, Lee Jung-hoo underwent an MRI examination on the 18th by Dr. Kenneth Akijuki, an orthopedic surgeon. The result came out on this day.
