Rotowire
The Giants placed Lee on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, with a mid-back strain.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Logs inside-the-park homer
Rotowire
Lee went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.
Lee got some help on his inside-the-park job, as Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez appeared to assume Lee's blooper would bounce into the stands for a ground-rule double. Instead, the ball rolled to the outfield wall, and Lee was able to round the bases just ahead of a relay throw to home plate. It was Lee's first career inside-the-park homer and his 13th home run through 230 career regular-season games. He's been productive over his past seven games, going 9-for-32 (.281 average) with three extra-base hits, four RBI and three runs.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Pops second homer
Rotowire
Lee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Marlins.
Lee has hit pretty well lately, going 19-for-49 (.388) over his last 13 contests, a span that includes both of his homers on the season.
