"He said it's okay...."

Ryu Ji-hyuk (31, Samsung Lions) suffered an injury in his left thumb while sliding after hitting a double in the bottom of the seventh inning against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 10th.

Ryu Ji-hyuk, who received icing treatment immediately after his injury, was examined at the hospital.




Ryu Ji-hyuk said, `It's okay.' However, the results of the hospital examination were embarrassing for the team. Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, `All four hospitals were different.'

A Samsung official said, `The worst thing is that the ligament part is injured, and the best thing is that the muscle injury.'

Ryu Ji-hyuk has a batting average of 289 and eight steals (OPS) of 0.712 in 62 games this season. In addition, Ryu Ji-hyuk's role is essential in the busy ranking fight as he is at the center of the team as a middle-aged player. It is positive that there is no abnormality in the bone, but in case of ligament damage, rest is needed.

For now, Ryu Ji-hyuk was excluded from the starting lineup. Coach Park said, `It's not a throwing hand, so if I play today, I'll play as a major defense and a pinch runner.' `There is a hospital in Daegu that specializes in hands, so I'm going to go and get tested after the away game in Gwangju.'

Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Koo Ja-wook (left fielder), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Kim Tae-hoon (right fielder), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Jae-sung (possession), and Yang Yang-geun (second baseman) started the game. The starting pitcher is Yang Chang-seop.
