The San Francisco Giants (20-25) haven’t started the season as they had hoped, and they’ve now suffered a significant setback. Shortly after outfielder Jorge Soler returned from the injured list, the team officially lost another outfielder for the season.
Jung Hoo Lee has been diagnosed with a torn labrum and will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, according to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic.
Lee had been off to a promising start in his rookie season, slashing .262/.310/.331 with two homers and eight RBIs. The 25-year-old injured his left shoulder after crashing into a wall during Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds. Initially diagnosed with a dislocation, Lee sought a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, who identified the structural damage.

In more positive news, Jorge Soler appears to have recovered from multiple ailments. The 32-year-old was initially sidelined with a shoulder injury but was then struck in the head by his own foul ball during batting practice on Tuesday, according to Bleacher Report.
Given these events, how will San Francisco recover from this chaos?
