Lee

His one out tonight was actually a liner to left with an .800 xBA. Lee went without an RBI, as the three guys ahead of him in the order combined to go 2-for-14. This is his fourth four-hit game in his last 11 starts, a stretch in which he’s raised his average from .268 to .333. He’s tied with Brandon Marsh for second in MLB in average, three points behind Otto Lopez.

Lee has remained hot since his 11-hit outburst at Coors Field over the weekend, going 8-for-14 in the four games against the Brewers. He’s all of the way up to fourth in the majors with his .322 average, putting him just behind teammate Luis Arraez in third place at .325.

That’s an 11-hit series for Lee, who went 4-for-5 on Friday and 2-for-4 with a triple last night. The five hits today were a new high for him since arriving in the U.S. He’s raised his average from .268 to .304 in three games since coming off the injured list.

It was Lee’s first game since coming off the injured list due to a back strain, and it was a good one. Three of the hits were singles, while he also added a double for good measure and scored twice. Lee has been relatively effective in 2026 with a .284/.323/.402 slash in his third season of MLB action.

The 27-year-old outfielder has been shelved since May 22 due to a back strain. He’s starting in right field and batting sixth for the Giants for Friday’s series opener against the Rockies in Colorado.

There’s a chance Lee is activated from the injured list for Friday’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field, which would be a nice bonus for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old outfielder hit the shelf with a back strain on May 22.

The 27-year-old outfielder had been attempting to play through the injury but after being reevaluated on Friday the club thought it was in his best interest to sit him down for a bit and make sure that everything heals properly. Victor Bericoto was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move on Friday.

No surprise here after Lee made an early exit from Monday’s series opener against Arizona with back spasms. It’s a positive sign that he hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Will Brennan taking over in right field in his place.

The Giants have Thursday off, so perhaps they’ll hold out Lee until then. Jesus Rodriguez or Drew Gilbert could start in right field on Tuesday.

Lee was replaced by Will Brennan in right field during the fourth inning of Monday’s series opener after going 1-for-2 at the plate. The 27-year-old outfielder is presumably day-to-day for the final two games of the series.
