Jung-Hoo Lee (26-San Francisco Giants) is feeling better with his injured left foot. But why was he left out of the starting lineup for three straight games?
Lee was not named in the starting lineup for the second game of the Giants' three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, USA, on Wednesday. San Francisco manager Bob Melvin started Tyler Estrada in leadoff and Tyler Fitzgerald in center field in Lee's spot.

After complaining of pain the next morning, Lee was given back-to-back days off against Colorado on Dec. 10 and Cincinnati on Dec. 11. Melvin said, "He won't be able to play until the 12th," and the three-day break was confirmed.
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Lee went through pregame drills on the field on the 11th as normal. 스포츠토토 He looked like he was moving better," said Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, reporting on Lee's physical condition.

He was in the midst of a three-game hitting streak, including a six-game hitting streak, when he was hit by a foul ball and injured.
