Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has landed on the 10-day injured list (IL) with a mid-back strain.
The Giants placed him on the IL before hosting the Chicago White Sox at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Friday (local time). In a corresponding move, the Giants brought up outfielder Victor Bericoto from Triple-A Sacramento.
According to MLB.com, Giants manager Tony Vitello said Lee felt a "pinch" in his back during pregame work earlier this week and then felt the same sensation during his second at-bat against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Lee was forced to leave that game in the fourth inning and missed the next two contests with back spasms.
