Jung Hoo Lee Fantasy Stats

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.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lee is now taking a seat for the second time in the last three games. His absence on Friday makes sense with left-hander Clayton Kershaw on the mound for Los Angeles. Lee has been struggling lately as he's hitless over his last 20 at-bats. Hopefully, a night off will help him get back on track. Drew Gilbert will take over in center field and bat ninth on Friday. Lee isn't someone that needs to be rostered in all 12-team formats right now.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is not in the lineup on Wednesday against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Drew Gilbert will take over in center field in Lee's place and bat ninth. While Lee has hit a solid .302/.375/.419 with a home run, four RBI, and seven runs scored in 12 games this month, he's now mired in an 0-for-17 slump that dates back to last Wednesday. Gilbert, meanwhile, has gone a productive 8-for-32 (.250/.306/.500) with two homers, a pair of doubles, five RBI, and six runs over 10 games in September.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee hit one of the team's five home runs on Monday night as they rolled to an 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks in Arizona. Lee went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI while connecting for his eighth homer of the season. His two-run blast came in the second inning off Nabil Crismatt and helped the Giants erase an early 3-0 deficit. Lee was joined later in the game by Dominic Smith, Heliot Ramos, Matt Chapman, and Patrick Bailey, who all homered in the team's big road win. The Giants have climbed back into the NL wild-card hunt by winning 12 of their last 15 games, but they are still three games behind the Mets. Lee has been a big part of the recent surge, going 18-for-48 (.375) with five multi-hit games in his last 12 contests. He is still mostly a single's hitter with occasional power, but he's picked things back up after slumping mid-season. He's definitely usable in standard mixed leagues if you need help in batting average and countable stats.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee will get a day off on Tuesday on the road against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. Daniel Johnson will make the start in center field for the Gigantes and bat seventh versus Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. It will be Lee's first game off after starting in each of the last eight games. The 26-year-old has been in a rut at the dish since the start of May, slashing .193/.273/.313 with a .586 OPS, three home runs, six doubles, four triples, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored, three stolen bases, 18 walks and 20 strikeouts in 52 games during that span. He was even worse in June, slashing .143/.277/.274 in 101 plate appearances. Lee has been a bit unfortunate, though, as his xBA stands at .280 despite a rough couple of months. The Giants are hoping he'll start to turn things around in the final stretch before the All-Star break.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee had a productive evening in a 10-7 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Lee went 1-for-3 with a triple, two walks, and three runs scored to help lead the Giants to victory. The leadoff hitter is now hitting .275 with 17 doubles, four triples, six homers, 40 runs, 32 RBI, and six stolen bases across 251 at-bats. While he hasn't been hitting for much power, Lee should continue to score plenty of runs hitting at the top of the San Francisco batting order. He is in play as a solid reserve outfielder in deeper fantasy leagues going forward.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) is returning to center field and will bat leadoff on Tuesday against the division-rival Colorado Rockies and left-hander Carson Palmquist at Coors Field. Lee did not start the final two games of the weekend against the Atlanta Braves due to tightness in his back, but he's feeling better after a scheduled day off for travel on Monday. The 26-year-old only played in 37 games in his first season in the big leagues due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. He's already played in 64 games in 2025 and enters Tuesday's tilt slashing .276/.330/.436 with a .766 OPS, six homers, 32 RBI, 35 runs scored and six stolen bases. The Japanese outfielder has actually been better against lefties this year, going 19-for-62 (.306) against them with three of his six homers. Get Lee back in your lineups this week at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (back) sat out the last two games of the series against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday and Sunday after experiencing upper-back soreness. However, MLB.com reports that Lee could return for Tuesday's series opener in Colorado against the division-rival Rockies. Lee appeared as a pinch-hitter in Saturday's game, which was a sign that his injury wasn't all that serious. Fantasy managers should expect to have him back in the lineup this week in a great hitting environment at Coors Field. Daniel Johnson received two straight starts in center field for the Giants with Lee missing the last two games. When Lee does come back, he'll be returning to a .276/.330/.436 slash line with a .766 OPS, six home runs, 32 RBI, 35 runs and six stolen bases in 243 at-bats. The Japanese outfielder has gone 5-for-19 (.263) with three doubles, an RBI and a steal in seven games in June.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is not in the lineup for their meeting with the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Daniel Johnson will take over in center field for Lee and occupy the leadoff spot for the Giants against right-hander Bryce Elder. A consistent presence near the top of San Francisco's lineup, Lee has gotten off to a nice start in his second year in the majors. The former KBO star is hitting .277/.331/.438 with six home runs, 32 RBI, and six stolen bases in 63 games and 266 plate appearances. Assuming Lee isn't sitting Saturday for an injury-related reason, he figures to draw back into the lineup Sunday against righty Spencer Strider.
