**Lee Benched for Sunday’s Game Against Athletics, Matos to Start in Center Field**
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee will not be in the starting lineup for today’s series finale against the Oakland Athletics. Manager Bob Melvin opted to give Lee a day of rest after a recent uptick in offensive production.
Lee started the previous four games, going 5-for-17 (.294) with a triple, a double, two RBIs, and three runs scored. This recent performance marks a positive turn for the outfielder, who had only recorded five hits in his prior 16 games.
Taking Lee’s place in center field will be Luis Matos, who will also bat sixth in the lineup. Matos will look to capitalize on the opportunity as the Giants aim to close out the series against their Bay Area rivals with a win. Details on Lee’s future starting role are expected to be released in the coming days.
