Lee Jung-hoo (25, San Francisco Giants), the grandson of the wind, collided with the fence while defending and injured his left shoulder. If the injury, which was initially known as a minor shoulder sprain, is diagnosed with a dislocated injury, he could be out for the season.
Lee Jung-hoo started the 2024 U.S. Major League Baseball’s regular-season home game against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on the 13th (Korea time). Lee Jung-hoo, who was out for three days from the 10th to the 12th after being hit by his foul ball in an away game with the Colorado Rockies on the 9th, returned in four days through the game.
However, with the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the first inning, Lee jumped toward the fence to catch Jaymer Candelario’s homeruns. After all, Lee failed to catch the ball and hit the fence hard, but failed to get up while holding onto his left shoulder and collapsing. The ball hit the top of the fence and fell to the ground, while all three runners homered. In the end, Lee failed to finish the inning and was replaced by Tyler Fitzgerald.
Immediately after the test, Lee Jung-hoo was diagnosed with a sprained left shoulder, but the extent of the injury that Coach Bob Melvin revealed after the game seems to have exceeded the sprain. On Lee’s shoulder condition, Melvin said, “Not good. My shoulder is dislocated. I have to do an MRI tomorrow, but it’s true that it’s not good.” MLB.COM predicted that Lee will likely go on the disabled list.
If a sprain is simply a symptom of sprained shoulder, a dislocation is an injury that causes the arm bone to dislocate from the joint of the shoulder. Organ dislocation is inevitable. If the condition is light, the patient can return to several weeks of rest and rehabilitation without surgery, but in severe cases, the patient may have to undergo surgery as it can damage the rotator cuff. If the patient undergoes surgery, the possibility of going out for the season cannot be ruled out. This season, Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story also suffered a dislocated shoulder while trying to dive to deal with the ball. He underwent surgery and was eventually out for the season.
Lee Jung-hoo, who caused concern by mass production of too many ground balls early in the season, has been on the rise, recovering from his recent batting performance. At the game against Colorado on Tuesday, he hit a double to the right wing, and managed to produce long balls for the first time in a long time. Lee once fell below 0.250, saw his batting average rise to 0.262 (38 hits in 145 times at bat), as he posted a batting average of 0.310 (9 hits in 29 times at bat) in the last six games. However, following an injury sustained by a foul hit, he was caught in defense
Lee Jung-hoo, who made his big league debut with a big contract of $113 million (155 billion won) for six years, is expected to feel even more burdened by the injury.
