Left-hander Lee Eui-ri's appearance in the second division, which the KIA Tigers have been waiting for, will be postponed for a few more days.

Lee Eui-ri, who underwent a long rehabilitation process after undergoing elbow ligament joint surgery in June last year, has now entered the final stage of his practice. Initially, it was predicted that the return could be a little faster in June, but elbow inflammation was found ahead of the actual match.

Lee Eui-ri was found to be inflamed after an MRI examination at the end of May. Fortunately, it was not in a serious condition. At the time, the club said "It is a level of inflammation that is common during rehabilitation after elbow surgery. After a two-week break, we plan to reschedule the mound again."




Lee Eui-ri, whose inflammation improved after taking a two-week break, caught the ball again. After a two-week break, he even played a live pitching schedule. And finally a real game. The schedule for the Futures appearance came out.

Originally, Lee Eui-ri was scheduled to pitch briefly in the Futures League against the NC Dinos' second division at Masan Stadium in Changwon on the 14th. Since KIA's first team will play a three-game series against NC at NC Park, which is located right next to it from the 13th, head coach Lee Bum-ho is expected to be able to check the pitching results of Lee Eui-ri right away.

But I adjusted this schedule a little more. Lee Eui-ri decided to play one more live pitching on the 15th instead of playing in the Futures on the 14th. He decided not to move to Changwon away, but to watch the situation as carefully as possible while playing live pitching once more.

There is no particular problem with the condition of the body. However, in the process of raising his condition as perfectly as possible without being in a hurry, some of the plans were revised to play live pitching once more and then start pitching in Futures around next week.

If there is no problem in the second live pitching, the Futures pitch can also be played without difficulty. If he plays the Futures about three times, the specific timing of his return to the first team will also be set. KIA, waiting for Lee Eui-ri's healthy return, is watching carefully and carefully.
