The Giants are searching for on-base ability at the top of their lineup after losing Jung Hoo Lee and Austin Slater.
Manager Bob Melvin #6 of the San Francisco Giants watches from the dugout during the fourth inning of the MLB game against the Arizona Diamondbacksat Chase Field on June 03, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona. PHOENIX — With more everyday players and a new manager pulling the strings, the 2024 Giants have featured more lineup stability than any of the clubs of the past few years. As injuries have piled up, naturally, that hasn’t been as much the case more recently.
While Slater is nearing the end of his rehab assignment, Lee was set to undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles, and since he separated his shoulder crashing into the center field fence last month, the Giants have missed his never-ending motor, his effervescent personality and his presence on the field.
The combination of Lee and Slater, by comparison, had an on-base percentage of .312, still below the league average .329 mark from leadoff hitters but a marked improvement from their replacements.
