Jung Hoo Lee Fantasy Stats

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee has been one of his team's lone offensive bright spots so far in 2026, hitting .331/.364/.445 with three home runs, 24 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases across 261 plate appearances. With a 9.5% strikeout rate, Lee is one of the most difficult players in baseball to strike out. The 27-year-old is also on an absolute tear in June, hitting .431 across his first 53 plate appearances this month. Lee's underlying contact metrics suggest that his power upside is very limited, as he owns a 2.3% barrel rate and a 30.6% hard-hit rate. He's also benefitted from a .356 batting average on balls in play so far this season, which is significantly higher than his career mark of .305. Still, Lee profiles as a batting average asset for fantasy managers even with some regression baked in. For fantasy managers who have power to spare but are struggling with batting average, Lee could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in the team's 2-1 10-inning loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night at Wrigley Field to extend his current hitting streak to 15 games. During his hitting streak, Lee has gone 28-for-58 (.483) at the plate with a home run, four doubles, a triple, eight RBI, 13 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 60 plate appearances. Don't look now, but the 27-year-old Japanese native is now slashing .323/.357/.445 on the season with an .803 OPS, three home runs, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 220 at-bats for the Gigantes in his third year in the big leagues. So far in seven games in June, Lee is hitting an absurd .462 (12-for-26) with two doubles, three RBI, six runs scored, and two stolen bases. He isn't going to keep this pace up, and he's never going to be much of a power asset, but while he's feeling it at the dish, fantasy managers need to take advantage. Lee is only rostered in 32% of Yahoo leagues at the moment.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) was activated off the 10-day Injured List on Friday. Lee will start in right field and bat sixth against right-hander Michael Lorenzen on Friday. Lee has been out since May 22 due to a back strain. Before the injury, Lee was slashing .268/.311/.385 with three home runs, 17 RBI, and 10 walks. He doesn't offer a ton of power upside with the bat, but he's a decent contact hitter. Lee does enough at the plate consistently to warrant a look in deep leagues for fantasy managers struggling to find production.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a mid-back strain, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Lee was initially removed from Monday's game early with what the team was calling back spasms. He is not ready to play to kick off a series this weekend against the visiting Chicago White Sox, so he'll land on the IL. With Lee out again on Friday, Harrison Bader is sliding over to center field and will hit ninth, with Casey Schmitt in left field, and Drew Gilbert in right field for the Gigantes. Will Brennan will be another candidate to see more playing time in the outfield for however long Lee is out. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting Japanese outfielder's fantasy stock was way down, even before his back injury. He offers modest production across the board and is currently hitting .268/.311/.385 with a .696 OPS, only three home runs, 17 RBI, and 20 runs scored in his 179 at-bats this year. Lee has slashed a mediocre .266/.321/.390 with a .712 OPS in his two-plus years in the Bay Area, and he's rostered in only 11% of Yahoo leagues.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com. Drew Gilbert is making the start in center field and is batting ninth against D-backs right-hander Merrill Kelly. Lee is making progress since being removed from Monday's game in Arizona early with back spasms, but he will take a seat for the second straight game as a precaution. The Gigantes don't have a game on Thursday, so Lee may return to the starting nine for Friday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox. The 27-year-old Japanese native doesn't offer fantasy managers much in any one category, and he's currently slashing .268/.311/.385 with a .696 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 193 plate appearances across 48 games played in 2026. However, he's been better in May, going 13-for-46 (.283) with a homer and five RBI in 11 games. He's currently riding a modest five-game hitting streak.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) was pulled early from Monday's contest against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks with back spasms, according to Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle. Before leaving the game, Lee went 1-for-2 at the plate out of the leadoff spot for the Gigantes. He was replaced in right field by Will Brennan. Lee should be considered day-to-day for now, and he'll almost certainly be absent from the starting nine for Game 2 of the series in Arizona on Tuesday against the D-backs. Fantasy managers will want to check back later to see if Lee's back injury is serious enough to require a stint on the 10-day injured list. The 27-year-old Japanese native probably is not rostered in most mixed fantasy leagues after combining for only 10 home runs, 63 RBI, and 12 stolen bases in 187 games in his first two years in the big leagues. Going into Monday's action, Lee was hitting .266 (47-for-177) with only three homers, 17 RBI, and 20 runs across 191 plate appearances. He's currently rostered in only 12% of Yahoo leagues.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee has been hitting well over the past few weeks after a slow start, improving his slash line to .281/.331/.413 on the season with two home runs, 11 RBI, and 14 runs scored. Lee has moved around a bit in the batting order, as the Giants' offense desperately has been searching for answers, as they rank last in runs scored on the season with 106. Lee remains a points league specialist, as he demonstrates excellent plate discipline with a solid on-base percentage. In category formats, he is a strong contributor to batting average or on-base percentage, which is about it, as the Giants' offense isn't producing tons of opportunities for runs or RBI at the moment, and Lee is not one to hit home runs, as he has hit only 12 in 908 plate appearances at the MLB level.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (leg) is starting in right field and is batting sixth on Wednesday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Shohei Ohtani, according to MLB.com. Lee was pulled from Tuesday's series-opening win against L.A. in the sixth inning with a left-leg injury that he suffered while sliding into home plate. The injury turned out not to be very serious, though, and he's back in action a day later. The 27-year-old Japanese native hasn't been much of a fantasy asset in his two-plus years in the big leagues and played in only 37 games in his rookie campaign in 2024 due to injury. He's currently slashing .259/.311/.370 with a homer, nine RBI, and eight runs scored in 23 games played so far in 2026, but he's heating up of late with six multi-hit performances in his last 10 games while going 15-for-39 (.385) with a homer, four RBI, and three runs scored over that span. Lee is only rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues because of his limited power/speed profile.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is expected to slide over to right field for the 2026 season, according to Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. Lee played center field during his second campaign stateside last year, but he struggled in the field with -5.7 fWAR on defense and -5 OAA. The Giants' signing of defensive standout Harrison Bader will allow the Giants to shift Lee to right field, where his fielding concerns won't be as prevalent, but keep him in the lineup on an everyday basis. Last season, he slashed .266/.327/.407 with a 7.6% strikeout rate, a 11.5% strikeout rate, and 107 wRC+. As it stands, the 27-year-old ranks as the #73 outfielder in the latest fantasy baseball draft rankings for 2026.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is not in the lineup on Monday against St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy. Drew Gilbert will take Lee's place in center field and bat ninth, while Jerar Encarnacion will play right and hit eighth. Although the lefty-swinging Lee has posted a respectable .269/.342/.419 line against righties this season, he's in the middle of a severe slump that has lasted almost two weeks. In nine games since Sept. 10, Lee has gone 2-for-28 with no extra-base hits, one RBI, three strikeouts, and three walks. Lee collected both of those singles in a 2-for-4 showing on Saturday, but after going 0-for-4 on Sunday, he'll head to the bench.
