Oh my god.

Lotte Giants has another injury evil spirit. Son Ho-young will be absent for about two weeks because Na Seung-yeop and Jang Doo-sung will be happy to return next week.

Lotte announced the injury ahead of the Hanwha Eagles match at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 18th. Son Ho-young's finger injury, which was replaced during the game against Hanwha on the 17th, was unexpectedly serious.




Son Ho-young hit Weiss' ball in the fifth inning and stepped down with a fly to center field, which was said to have caused a loud ringing in his hand. He hit the 134-km sweeper at the first pitch at a good timing, but the ball, which seemed to overplay the center fielder at first, did not stretch as far as I thought. The so-called hit came out. It was replaced to protect the player, and it did not seem to be a major injury, such as taking emergency measures with icing immediately after the injury.

However, the hospital examination result was serious. He was examined at Giant Hospital on the morning of the 18th due to pain in his right index finger, and was found to need two weeks of rehabilitation due to muscle damage caused by bruising.

Lotte was in a situation where it was not easy to even make a starting lineup due to the lineup of key players such as Na Seung-yeop, Yoon Dong-hee, Hwang Sung-bin, Jang Doo-sung, and Lee Ho-joon. At least Na Seung-yeop and Jang Doo-sung started training at Futures Camp and were able to return next week, so they could be comforted, but Son Ho-young was away.




Son Ho-young was immediately removed from the first team entry. Newcomer Park Chan-hyung, who joined as a nurturing player this year, replaced Son Ho-young in the first division entry. He had a batting average of 255 with one home run and eight RBIs in 13 games in the second division this season.
