Hom(-,N) is left exact if $N \in \mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ is semi simple and indecomposable

I have the following situation: $\mathcal{M}$ is a semi simple, indecomposable module category over a semisimple, rigid monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ with finitely many irreducible objects and irreducible unit object. Let $N$ be an object in $\mathcal{M}$.

In my exercise it says that $\mathrm{Hom}(-, N)$ is left exact under those conditions. Why is that?

An equivalent characterization of $\mathcal{M}$ being semisimple is that every $N\in \mathcal{M}$ is injective (see e.g. R is semisimple if and only if every R module is projective for the dual statement). $\operatorname{Hom}(-,N)$ being exact is equivalent to $N$ being injective.
