Jung Hoo Lee to get MRI on ailing back
Briefly

Jung Hoo Lee has encountered back discomfort, leading to missed weekend games and uncertainties regarding his MRI results. With his strong spring performance, a .300/.400/.567 triple slash, he is pivotal for the Giants as their projected #3 hitter. Depending on the MRI's outcome, he could miss the start of the regular season, leaving Grant McCray as a likely replacement. While McCray has had a solid spring with .297/.422/.486 stats, his high strikeout rate poses potential risks to the team's performance during Lee's possible absence.
Lee's performance has been a part of that. He's slated to hit in the #3 spot in the regular season, you know. His triple slash of .300/.400/.567 is great to see.
If Lee can't go, the discussion online is that Grant McCray will roam centerfield for the orange and black when they head to Cincinnati.
Nobody doubts McCray's glove, and it's very well a slight upgrade in center over Lee, but there's a lot of swing and miss in his bat.
It's that strikeout percentage that could wind up hurting the team if Lee is out for a length of time.
