Injury warnings have been issued to 10 professional baseball clubs. Injury has emerged as a major variable amid fierce competition for rankings.
The Samsung Lions (19 wins, one draw and 18 losses) are suffering from a series of injuries to their players. Fielders Kim Ji-chan (hamstring), Kim Young-woong (garatto), Kim Heon-gon (waist), and veteran pitcher Lim Chang-min (arm) are out due to injuries. Reliever pitchers Kim Moo-shin and Lee Jae-hee ended the season early due to elbow surgery.
To make matters worse, Koo Ja-wook, a key batter, was hit by a pitch ball in his elbow and Kang Min-ho, a key catcher, was hit by a foul ball in his knee in the game against the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday. Both players avoided major injuries, but were excluded from the starting lineup against the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday.먹튀검증
KT Wiz (18 wins, 2 draws and 18 losses), who is ranked fifth, is also groaning in the injured ward. As Huh Kyung-min (hamstring), Kim Sang-soo (abdominal muscle), Oh Yoon-seok (inner leg), and Jang Jun-won (ankle) were injured, four infielders were excluded from the team's roster. Jang Joon-won, who underwent surgery on his left ankle on the 2nd, will take 12 weeks to rehabilitate.
The third-place Lotte Giants (22 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses) are deeply troubled by a series of injuries recently. Jeon Min-jae, who showed an outstanding batting performance, is resting due to bleeding in his right eye after being hit by pitcher Yang Ji-yul in the match against Kiwoom Heroes on the 29th of last month. Leadoff Hwang Sung-bin and foreign pitcher Charlie Barnes will undergo a thorough examination on the 8th for finger mid-body fracture and sub-capsular muscle damage, respectively.
The Kia Tigers (16 wins, 1 draw and 19 losses), which tied for sixth due to injuries suffered by its main players from the beginning of the season, are still not fully operational. Key players including Kim Do-young, Park Chan-ho and Kim Sun-bin returned home after recovering from injury, but Na Sung-bum was removed from the main team due to calf muscle damage on April 27. Reliever Kwak Do-gyu was out for the season due to elbow surgery.
Kwak Bin (16 wins, 1 draw and 20 losses), a native ace of the Doosan Bears (16 wins, 1 draw, and 20 losses), and Hong Geon-hee (elbow), the mainstay of the bullpen, failed to take the mound due to injury. Fortunately, Kwak started pitching. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said of Kwak Bin, "If we pitch another bullpen this week, the return date will come out early next week."
Hanwha (24-13), which is leading the way, has a clear upward curve, including nine consecutive wins, but it is regrettable that veteran infielder An Chi-hong has not been able to perform properly due to injury. An Chi-hong complained of pain in his right wrist during defense at the beginning of the season, and he is not in good condition yet.
The second-ranked LG Twins (23 wins and 14 losses) and the sixth-ranked SSG Landers (16 wins, 1 draw and 19 losses), both of whom are foreign players, who are heavily influenced by their team's strength, have been left due to injury. It is important that temporary replacement of the foreign players LG Koen Win and SSG Ryan McBroom fill the void.
The 8th-ranked NC Dinos (15-18) are preparing to return to the team, including must-win pitcher Kim Young-kyu and outfielder Kim Sung-wook (shoulder), while the 10th-ranked Kiwoom (13-27)'s super rookie Jung Hyun-woo (shoulder) has yet to return after being canceled from the first-team entry due to a shoulder injury on the 17th of last month.
