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.
