Kiwoom Heroes swept their hearts with 'Fortunately during misfortune'. He lost a veteran big gun that added weight to the lineup, but it is the mildest symptom.

Kiwoom Heroes said ahead of the Lotte Giants match at Gocheok Sky Dome on the morning of the 17th that `Kim Dong-yeop received a fracture of the right ulnar as a result of a second examination at Bumin Hospital, a club-designated hospital today. The recovery period is expected to be four weeks."

It was a detailed examination with the addition of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which was not easy because it was the weekend. The results are the same as in the first screening.

If it was fortunate, there was no damage to other parts other than the fracture. It is not a complex fracture that leads to additional injuries to ligaments or muscles during the fracture process. The four-week schedule for recovery alone is tough, but it is a point to sweep away the chest as there is no other damage.

Kim Dong-yeop was replaced after being hit on the right wrist by Doosan starter Kim Yoo-sung's fastball in the bottom of the second inning against the Doosan Bears in the exhibition game on the 15th. As a result, he was diagnosed with a broken wrist.

Kiwoom is the team that found its new home after the release of the Samsung Lions, and after preparing with a unique mind throughout the winter, it liked the head coach and got the opportunity to play. It was an injury in a situation where he booked the main designated hitter this season by showing off his slugging power, such as shooting a home run.

Kim Dong-yeop is 35 years old this year, but his natural strength is business. Three seasons (2017, 2018, 2020) have hit more than 20 home runs in a short first-team career.

After a long slump since 2021, he was released and worked hard for Kiwoom this year. This year, he pledged to serve as a white soldier with an annual salary of 50 million won.

For Kiwoom, it was to add weight to the lineup that Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) and Kim Hye-sung (LA Dodgers) left. This is also the reason why he has a two-man foreign hitter system, which is rare, by picking Puig-Cardines this year.

However, with only a week left before the opening, a bad news of a fracture injury hit. Kim Dong-yeop is expected to knock on his return to the first team after focusing on recovery.
