It's been a long time since we've had good news. More than 80% of the first starter has recovered from a hamstring injury

White underwent a second thorough examination at a hospital in Incheon on the 14th. The SSG club has been informed that White has recovered more than 80% of his right hamstring"If there is nothing unusual after the additional inspection on the 24th (Monday), we plan to conduct a bullpen pitching afterwards."
That's a relief.
White, recruited by SSG on the condition of a full guarantee of $1 million (about 1.45 billion won) this season, made his body smoothly in the spring camp, but he was sick ahead of his actual appearance.
On the 27th of last month, he felt pain in his right hamstring during the second camp training in Okinawa, Japan, and quickly boarded a flight to Korea to find out his detailed condition.

However, White tried to recover and return as quickly as possible. While waiting for his hamstring to improve, his upper body exercises and basic pitching training continued. It was an effort to advance the timing of his return.
Fortunately, he was found to have improved a lot at the second examination, and if it is concluded that he has recovered almost to perfection at the third examination on the 24th, 10 days later, he can hurry to return to the pitch.

If nothing unusual is found in the examination on the 24th, and it is prepared smoothly, it is possible to return as early as mid-April.
First of all, SSG is in a difficult situation to think about recruiting short-term alternative foreign players. Since it is too early in the opening period, and White's absence is expected to be about a month from now and three weeks from the start of the regular season, it is expected to fill the rotation using domestic starting pitchers.
