Jung Hoo Lee returns to Giants lineup for series opener against Mets

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder Jung Hoo Lee for Friday's series opener against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Lee enters the starting lineup batting fifth and playing right field after being held out of the starting rotation during the final game of a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. During Thursday’s 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh, Lee appeared as a seventh-inning pinch-hitter, recording an RBI double. He currently maintains a.283 batting average with a.739 OPS, though his production has declined with only two hits in his last 20 at-bats. The Giants enter the matchup with a 58-83 record and have recently incorporated several players from the Triple-A Sacramento Rivercats due to injury-related roster constraints. Pitcher Matt ‘Tugboat’ Wilkinson is scheduled to start for San Francisco against New York's Nolan McLean.
