"I'm going to watch the situation until Sunday."

Kiwoom Heroes foreign hitter Puig injured his shoulder against the Doosan Bears at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 23rd. After seeing the opponent's check at first base, he was shocked on his left shoulder while sliding.

Puig, who was in pain, played the whole game. After getting hurt, he made a multi-hit. There seemed to be no problem.




However, on the 24th, news like a bolt from the blue flew in. Puig woke up and complained of shoulder pain, and the first examination revealed that his left shoulder rotator cuff was injured. Months were injuries that could take time.

Surprised, Kiwoom immediately cross-checked through the second examination, and fortunately, the confirmed case was ligament damage. The injury was not significant, so he did not miss the entry.

But Puig can't run right away. If so, it is also a way to remove it from the entry and reinforce other players. It's giving you plenty of time to rest. However, coach Hong Won-ki made a different choice. Why.




Coach Hong, who met ahead of the SSG Landers match to be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th, said, `Puig will be watching until Sunday (27th). It's hard to play in the game right now." Won't it be possible to hit a batter's box in a situation where a sacrifice fly is desperately needed. Coach Hong shook his head "I can't do it".

Having a Puig in this state has its own calculation. This is because we believe that it is an injury that can be cured if we take a good rest for three days before the match against SSG on the 27th. Before that, I put it in vaguely It can be much more efficient than the cancellation of the entry because it blocks the increase in injuries and allows players to take a three-day break and play if they can play on the 27th.

Of course, taking three days off does not guarantee that you will recover unconditionally. It's a winning move of its own. Coach Hong will check the movement on the 27th and decide whether to play or not. Even then, if the condition is not good, I will be able to make the next plan, such as excluding entries, " he explained.
