San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jeong-hoo will finally receive a day of rest after extending his Major League Baseball record for consecutive games with a hit to 18. The South Korean rookie achieved this milestone despite a demanding schedule often referred to as a "hellish" stretch of games. Lee’s streak is the longest by a Korean player in MLB history. He has consistently performed well since joining the Giants, quickly becoming a key player for the team. The break comes as a welcome respite for the young player navigating the challenges of his first season in the major leagues. While the team has not disclosed the reason for the rest, it is likely due to fatigue from the intense playing schedule. Lee is expected to return to the lineup after this brief pause.
