Giants lose key component

Discussion in the Pro Yakyu News forum

Yomiuri Giants infielder Lee Seung Yeop was removed from the active roster Thursday with an injured left thumb, team officials said. Lee, who has fallen into a slump hitting just .254, underwent a detailed medical examination and was diagnosed with inflammation in his left thumb. "I feel bad that I have to be away from the team at this important stage," Lee said in a comment. "I hope my thumb heals quickly and I get back to the team after the All-Star break." Yomiuri manager Tatsunori Hara said he hopes to have the South Korean slugger back to his hitting ways soon. "He said he couldn't manage it anymore, so we'll just keep an eye on him over the next 10 days," said Hara.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
