Lee watched from the bench during the home game against the Cincinnati Reds in Major League Baseball held at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on August 27 (Korea time).

U.S. media reported that Lee, who was hit on his elbow guard by a pitch in the first inning the previous day, felt slight pain and was initially included in the starting lineup before being excluded.

San Francisco suffered a 10-9 comeback defeat after giving up seven runs in the top of the ninth inning, including two home runs such as a grand slam, while leading heavily by 9-3.

San Francisco manager Tony Vitello was ejected after protesting an umpire's check-swing call in the first inning.
