'Bad news' Kang Min-ho unavailable→need to check daily...'Mistake' Kim Young-woong-'Injury' Moon Yong-ik expunged

 Kang Min-ho, 38, was hit in the wrist by a foul ball and will be out for a few days. The bone is fine, but there is still swelling. Moon Yong-ik (28) is also out of the first team.


Manager Park Jin-man said before the second game of a three-game midweek series against Kiwoom in the 2023 KBO regular season at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on April 21, "Kang Min-ho can't play. The bone is fine, but there is swelling. He can't straighten his wrist properly," he said.


"It's a bruise, and it's hard to play for a few days. We have to check his condition day by day. It may suddenly get better, or it may not. We have to see. Today's catcher will be Kim Tae-gun."


Kang Min-ho was hit on the right wrist by Lee Ji-young's foul ball in the top of the seventh inning of the previous day's game. He fell to the ground in great pain and was immediately replaced. Kim Jae-sung, who was watching first base, moved to catcher, and Gong Min-kyu took over at first base.


X-rays and CT scans were taken at the hospital, and it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the bone, which is the good news, but it's not easy for him to play. They're missing a guy who's batting .307 with eight home runs, 36 RBIs, and an OPS of .836 this season. That's a big loss.


At the same time, the "three catchers at the same time" rule has been suspended. It could be reinstated when Kang Min-ho returns. For now, the catcher against Kiwoom on the 21st will be Kim Tae-gun. Kim Jae-sung will play first base. It's an unfamiliar position, but he's been solid at first base.


Moon Yong-ik won't be playing either. He's out of the first team altogether. The day before, in the top of the seventh inning, he hit his ankle on an infield hit by Lee Won-seok's pitch. He tried to catch the ball while limping, but was unable to throw out the runner. He was immediately replaced.


Manager Park Jin-man said, "I was hit in the ankle by a pitch. I was a little shaky, but I was hit by a pitch. He's having trouble walking. I don't think he'll be able 토토사이트 to pitch for a few days, so I took him out of the lineup."


In addition to Moon Yong-ik, Samsung also released Kim Young-woong and Kim Jae-sang. Kim Young-woong stood out. The previous day, he had a disappointing outing in the top of the seventh inning when he made a throwing error on a ground ball hit by leadoff hitter Lee Won-seok. The mistake caused the game to go south, and the team gave up six runs.


Coach Park Jin-man said, "You can make mistakes. That's how you grow. I don't reprimand them. However, there is something we have been emphasizing since camp. We have to play the basics," he said.


"In a case like yesterday, I should have thought 오래된 토토사이트 about who the batter was and what his strength was. I was able to catch it with a normal play. I went for a running throw and made a mistake. The message was to play the basics," he added.

Na Seong-beom and Kim Do-young go 1-for-1 in the second team...Na hits first Futures League home run in 11 years

 KIA Tigers' Na Sung-beom (34) and Kim Do-young (20) have picked up the pace ahead of their return to the first team.


Na and Kim started in right field and second base, respectively, against the Lotte Giants of the Futures League at Hampyeong Stadium in Jeollanam-do, South Jeolla Province, on April 21. Na went 1-for-2 with a double, one home run, one RBI, one run scored and one walk, while Kim went 1-for-3. 


In the top of the first inning, Kim Do-young led off with a grounder to third base. Na then took the second pitch from Lotte starter Kim Kang-hyun for a solo home run over the left field fence. It traveled 105 meters. It was Na's first home run in the Futures League in 11 years, since he hit 16 in the 2012 Futures League while playing for NC. 


Kim Do-young led off the third inning with a foul fly to right field. Na Sung-beom drew a walk after a seven-pitch at-bat. In the top of the fifth, Kim Do-young singled to center field to put runners on first and second. However, Na struck out to 메이저사이트 end the inning. Both Na Sung-beom and Kim Do-young were replaced in center field in the sixth inning.


Both Na and Kim missed most of the early part of the season due to injuries. Na has yet to play a single game, while Kim has only played two. Now that they've recovered from their injuries, Na and Kim are focusing on improving their game in the Futures League ahead of their first-team call-ups. 


Na has shown a lot of improvement at the plate, hitting a home run in two consecutive games. Kim Do-young is also on a roll with three hits in two games. 


KIA (28 wins, 1 loss, 31 ties), 메이저사이트주소 which is in sixth place in the league, lost Kim Sun-bin to an injury in the NC on April 17. The return of Na Sung-beom and Kim Do-young to the first team will be a big boost.

Why Sanchez's start was pushed back a day... The eagerly awaited new foreign hitter will make his first-team debut next week

 Ricardo Sanchez, 26, who has energized the Hanwha mound with his performance since joining the team, gets an extra day off. There's nothing particularly wrong with him. It's just extra rest.


Hanwha head coach Choi Won-ho announced a change in the starting rotation ahead of the team's upcoming game against KIA at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park on April 21. The original order called for Sanchez to start on the 22nd. However, Choi confirmed, "Han Seung-hyuk will start tomorrow and Sanchez will start a day later on the 23rd."


Sanchez, who was brought in as a foreign player to replace Butch Smith, who was released after one game due to injury, has lived up to expectations with impressive performances since his arrival. In his first seven games, Sanchez is 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA in 37⅔ innings pitched. His batting average is 0.225 and his WHIP is 0.98, which is also good.


However, Choi said that in his last start against Kiwoom on the 16th, he felt some fatigue towards the end of the game. "At the end of the fifth inning, I was asked by the pitching coach, 'I'm a little tired, can you change me after only three batters,'" Choi recalled. "I did, and he asked me to have a meeting with the pitching coach, and he said, 'If you can, I want you to take a little more rest for a day.


Having been in the rotation since arriving, it's no secret that some fatigue is bound to set in. Choi was happy to oblige Sanchez's request. "Han Seung-hyuk has only thrown about 50 pitches, so it's not a big deal for him to take four days off. We switched Seung-hyuk to the KIA game and Sanchez to the NC game with one more day of rest."


However, Choi added that he did not intend to separate the foreign pitchers Felix Peña and Sanchez. "We can make adjustments later in the game," he said. Sanchez pitched the first seven games at home. The 23rd game in Changwon will be Sanchez's first away game in the KBO.


Meanwhile, Nick Williams, a recently signed foreign hitter, will arrive in the country on the 22nd. He will then travel to a designated hospital to undergo a medical test before joining the first team on the 24th in Changwon.


Choi plans to observe Williams' training for now. He needs time to adjust to the time difference. If there are no problems, the plan is to use him in the first team on the 27th. The idea is to use him in the first team without a second team game.


Choi expressed his expectations for the 안전놀이터 new foreign batsman, saying, "If he is in good shape, he will go to the pool from next week."


Chae Eun-sung, who was hit in the toenail area by a foul ball the day before on the 20th, will be rested for the 21st. Choi said, "I think it will be difficult even as a substitute. She hasn't been training," Choi said. Instead, Choi called up Lee Sung-gon, who had been performing well in the second team, to start in the No. 4 spot.


Hanwha's batting order was Lee Jin-young (right fielder), Kim In-hwan (first baseman), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Lee Sung-gon (designated hitter), Moon Hyun-bin (center fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), Jang Jin-hyuk (left fielder), Lee Do-yoon (shortstop), and Jung Won (second baseman). Felix Peña will get the start and try 메이저놀이터 추천 to get the win.

'Fortunate among the unfortunate' NC's Choi avoids surgery..."Will rest for 4-6 weeks"

 Good news. Choi Sung-young (NC Dinos), who suffered an orbital fracture after being hit in the face by a pitch, will avoid surgery.


NC manager Kang Myung-ho spoke about Choi ahead of the team's home game against the LG Twins of the 2023 KBO on Nov. 21 at Changwon NC Park.


Choi suffered an unexpected injury when he started the game against LG at the same venue on the previous day (20th). In the top of the third inning, Choi was hit in the left cheek by a pitch from leadoff hitter Moon Bo-kyung.


After struggling to get up in pain, Choi was eventually taken off the field in an ambulance. According to the NC team, he was diagnosed with an orbital fracture. It is expected that he will not need surgery.

Manager Kang Myung-ho said, "It's a good thing. He was diagnosed with a fracture, but they said he doesn't need surgery. For now, he will be resting for four to six weeks. After that, we'll have to see how he recovers."


"There were three fractures (in Choi's cheekbones)," Kang continued, "and the doctors said it would be better to treat it naturally rather than surgically. We double-checked with two hospitals and they agreed."


Choi, who replaced native left-handed ace Koo Chang-mo, who was sidelined with a microscopic left forearm flexor strain, had a stellar record of 4-0 with a 2.57 ERA in seven appearances this season. The news of his injury will only add to Kang's frustration.


"I'm very disappointed. It's a shame because Choi Sung-young has shown great form from May to now, while domestic starters are having difficulties." He sighed.


Kang has seen many players get hit in the face by balls during his career. The aftermath made him freeze in place and close his eyes when Choi Sung-young was hit.


"When I was playing, I saw Choi Sang-duk get hit, I saw Kim Won-hyung (SSG Landers) get hit, and when I was at Doosan (as a coach), I saw Kim Myung-shin get hit. I was heartbroken," he said, "and I think I was hoping (Choi) wasn't seriously injured." 


In Choi's place will be Eric Pedi, who is 10-1 with a 1.74 ERA this season and has established himself as the league's best foreign ace. He has been out of the 토토사이트 first-team roster since being diagnosed with a right forearm flexor strain on Nov. 14, but has been rehabbing and working to improve his condition.


Kang said, "Pedi threw a long toss and groundball today. We received a report that there is no major abnormality. We're thinking about scheduling him for a game tomorrow after he pitches in the bullpen. If there are no major problems, Pedi will take Choi Sung-young's place."


However, Kang Shin-ho 해외안전놀이터 추천 made it clear that the team will not rush Pedi's return if he is not feeling well.


"We will check his (Pedi's) bullpen pitching tomorrow," Kang said, adding, "If Pedi is not available, we are thinking about Jeon Jae-min, who is our long reliever."


Meanwhile, NC's lineup was Son Asub (right fielder), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Jason Martin (left fielder), Kim Sung-wook (center fielder), Yoon Hyung-jun (first baseman), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), Park Se-hyuk (catcher), and Kim Joo-won (shortstop). The starting pitcher is Shin Min-hyuk.
