SAN FRANCISCO — And Jung Hoo Lee makes three.The San Francisco Giants just got Harrison Bader back from a month-long absence due to a strained hamstring. They’ll likely be without Heliot Ramos for a longer stretch after he sustained a Grade 2 quadriceps strain last week. Now they’re placing the third member of their Opening Day outfield on the injured list.Lee has been dealing with a mid-back strain, and the Giants waited as long as they could for him to come around before Friday’s homestand opener against the Chicago White Sox. Lee reported improvement, according to Giants manager Tony Vitello, but apparently not enough. The team placed Lee on the IL retroactive to May 19 so he could be activated as early as May 28 when the Giants open a three-city road trip at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies.It’s the first time Lee has been on the IL since 2024, when he sustained a season-ending left shoulder dislocation and missed the final 4 1/2 months of the season. Although Lee has become a defensive asset after switching from center field to right field this season, the 27-year-old left-handed hitter hasn’t become the breakout performer at the plate that the Giants envisioned when their former top baseball executive, Farhan Zaidi, signed him to a six-year, $113 million contract in December 2023.Lee is batting .268/.311/.385 with a 100 OPS+ — essentially a league-average hitter. Although he is an above-average runner, and rule changes have incentivized base stealing, Lee hasn’t even attempted a stolen base this year after swiping 10 in 13 tries a year ago.Victor Bericoto hit .419 with three home runs during spring training. (Mark J. Rebilas / Imagn ImagesThe Giants selected the contract of outfielder Victor Bericoto from Triple-A Sacramento. Bericoto, 24, has never been ranked among the Giants’ top prospects during his seven years in the organization, but he’s a steady riser who made an impression on the coaching staff in spring training. Bericoto, a right-handed hitter, posted a .419 average in Cactus League play with three home runs, one walk and 10 strikeouts in a team-high 43 at-bats. He was off to a good start at Triple-A, hitting .299 with a .355 on-base percentage and six home runs in 167 at-bats.“I just like the way he goes about his business,” Vitello said of Bericoto. “He’s ultra low-maintenance. He’s a good listener. But the biggest thing is, for him, he’s a hitter. He’s just very hitter-ish.”The Giants could seek to platoon Bericoto with lefty-hitting Drew Gilbert in right field and turn over left field to Casey Schmitt, which would be one way to clear everyday at-bats at designated hitter/first base for top prospect Bryce Eldridge, whose lack of consistent playing time since his promotion has many observers inside and outside the organization scratching their heads. Gilbert, Schmitt and Eldridge were all listed in Friday night’s lineup, which the Giants didn’t post until nearly 90 minutes before the first pitch.Ramos won’t be back any time soon. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection to speed healing in his quadriceps and will not participate in any baseball activities for a week.The Giants hope that their ace, Logan Webb, will rejoin the rotation next week. Webb (knee bursitis) was scheduled to throw 60 pitches in a rehab start for Sacramento on Friday night.
