San Francisco Giants center Lee Jung-hoo is not expected to be out long term after imaging on his back came back negative. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday (U.S. local time) that an MRI on Lee's tight back did not reveal any structural damage. Lee underwent testing Monday after missing weekend action in spring training due to back discomfort.

San Francisco Giants fans will soon have a new way to watch their favorite team, as NBC has announced that Bay Area sports coverage will be added to their streaming service Peacock starting in the 2025 season. Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (subscription required), fans will be able to add an additional subscription onto their existng account which will grant them access to the games. Along with the Giants, Bay Area fans will also be able to to watch several other teams including the Golden State Warriors, San Jose Sharks, Sacramento Kings, and Athletics.

With spring training coming to a close for the San Francisco Giants, one of their free agent signings has been impressive so far. After the campaign was completed, San Francisco made it pretty clear that they wanted to begin to reduce payroll and get this team back on track. For the last three seasons, the Giants have finished under .500, and money wasn't spent all that well by the previous front office. Now, president of baseball operations Buster Posey has been tasked with trying to clean things up.

Willy Adames' first home run at Scottsdale Stadium this spring was a towering fly ball that at first looked like it would be caught on the outfield grass. The right fielder lifted his glove before even reaching the warning track, but the ball kept carrying and carrying in the thin air and landed on the Charro Lodge deck as Adames flipped his bat toward the home dugout. At Oracle Park, it would have been a routine fly ball, and Adames knows that's what he signed up for. In December, he became the first free-agent position player to ever take a contract of more than $150 million from the Giants, and he's just the third hitter, period, to sign a nine-figure deal with the organization.

Given the big splashes made by their National League West rivals this winter, the San Francisco Giants have flown under the radar entering the 2025 Major League Baseball season. With the Los Angeles Dodgers adding Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott and the Arizona Diamondbacks adding Josh Naylor and Corbin Burnes, the consensus is that the Giants didn't do enough to avoid another distant fourth-place season.

Once believed to have the deepest rotation in Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees have seen their starting pitching depth decimated by injuries this spring. The first blow came when reigning AL Rookie of the Year Award winner Luis Gil suffered a lat strain that is expected to keep him out for much of the first half. Then came the catastrophic announcement that ace Gerrit Cole would need to undergo Tommy John surgery, which will cause him to miss the entire 2025 season and likely some of 2026 as well.

According to MLB Trade Rumors, the 26-year-old centerfielder didn't play in a Cactus League game on Saturday due to back discomfort. The Giants stated his back injury was not due to playing in a game but due to his awkward sleeping position. Lee was batting .300 with two home runs and 15 RBIs in twelve games in the Cactus League.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo is set to undergo an MRI exam on his back this week with the start of his sophomore campaign in Major League Baseball (MLB) just days away. MLB.com reported Monday (U.S. local time) that Lee was to have the MRI test later in the day. The Korean outfielder had been set to start Saturday but was a late scratch after waking up with back discomfort. According to the report, Lee's back tightness lingered longer than the Giants had expected, which prompted them to send Lee for imaging and a follow-up exam.

The San Francisco Giants entered the offseason widely expected to do a complete overhaul of their pitching staff and go after some of the top names on the market. The Giants have a heated battle playing out for the final spot. Unquestionably, Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Verlander, and Jordan Hicks are locks, but the fifth spot is a battle largely between Kyle Harrison, Landen Roupp and Hayden Birdsong.

The first handful of starts Justin Verlander has made this spring have been, in a way, a bit of a mystery. Verlander's first three Cactus League appearances this spring took place at Scottsdale Stadium, a venue with no Statcast capabilities. Aside from pure velocity, the spin rate and movement patterns of Verlander's pitches have been unknown to the public. Verlander turned in another excellent outing as the Giants beat the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch, 3-0, tossing five scoreless innings on 78 pitches with six strikeouts.

Every August throughout the 1960s, he would pile my sister and me into the car at 4:30 a.m. and drive us from our small town of 1,500 in rural Oregon to Candlestick Park on San Francisco Bay, where we watched the Giants—and the great Willie in his prime—at a Friday night game.

Jung Hoo Lee's status for Opening Day roster is now unclear. The Giants announced on Monday morning that Lee will undergo an MRI later in the day as the center fielder deals with mid-back tightness. Lee will have a follow-up with team orthopedist Ken Akizuki for another exam, as well. “Send him in, get an MRI, see what's there.”

San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee, who was limited to 37 games in his rookie season of 2024, was scheduled for an MRI to address mid-back tightness. The San Francisco Standard reported that Lee is scheduled for a follow-up exam with team doctor Ken Akizuki. Lee, 26, was scratched from the Giants' lineup for a Cactus League game Saturday in a move that was considered precautionary. He is 9-for-30 (.300) with two home runs and five RBIs in 12 spring games. Lee, who is of South Korean ancestry and was born in Japan, did not play after May 12 last season because of a left shoulder injury that required surgery. He batted .262 with two home runs and eight RBIs during his limited time

The Giants have less than a week remaining in Arizona, and players got a reminder of that when they walked into the clubhouse on Sunday morning. Just about everyone remaining in the clubhouse is guaranteed of at least playing in the final exhibition games back in the Bay Area, but the Giants still are trying to decide what the initial 26-man roster will look like. The Giants came to camp with three young starters vying for the fifth spot, and all three made their cases over a 72-hour period this weekend. Landen Roupp struck out 13 in an eye-opening start at the minor league facility on Friday.
