Giants adjust lineup with Jung Hoo Lee batting third against Reds

Summary

The San Francisco Giants are set to face the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park on August 24. Manager Tony Vitello announced that Jung Hoo Lee will serve as the Designated Hitter and bat third in the order, a change from his previous game where he batted sixth and played right field. The adjustment appears to be a rest day for Lee in the outfield, as the team looks to utilize their roster after falling out of playoff contention. The Giants also announced several roster moves, including Willy Adames being placed on the 10-day IL due to an elbow issue.
