KT Wiz veteran hitter Hwang Jae-kyun, who suffered a hamstring injury while running, is expected to take about two months to return.

Hwang Jae-kyun sprinted home from second base to third base in the bottom of the third inning when Mel Rojas Jr. hit a timely hit in the game against the Doosan Bears at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 29th. Hwang Jae-gyun, who felt abnormal in his thighs from the time he went around third base, limped and stepped home. The score was recognized, but he immediately lay on the ground and complained of pain.

Hwang Jae-gyun returned to the bench as it was and underwent a thorough examination at the hospital. The examination revealed damage to the left hamstring. Hwang Jae-gyun returned to the ballpark on crutches after receiving the first examination at the hospital during the game on the 29th and left work with his colleagues.




And the next day, on the 30th, I finished cross-checking. The degree of damage is Grade 2. A KT club official explained that it is expected to take 6 to 8 weeks at the earliest to return. In the case of hamstring injury, which is a muscle injury, it is difficult to guarantee because there is a difference in the speed of recovery for each player, but the first half of the year out is confirmed and the return is expected at the beginning of the second half. KT removed Hwang Jae-gyun from the first-team entry on the 30th and registered Oh Yoon-seok.

Coach Lee Kang-chul was also deeply disappointed. That's why Hwang Jae-kyun's recent hitting has been good. He has a high batting average of 436 (17 hits in 39 at-bats) in the last 10 games.

Director Lee Kang-chul thinks it's about eight weeks. I think I'll be able to come back after the All Star break"I've been playing well these days. It was flying too much. I also wonder if I should have restrained myself a little bit. He expressed regret.
