KIA Tigers swept their chests surprised by the injury of ace James Nail. KIA is having a difficult season due to many injuries this year, but it is known that it is not a major injury.
Nail started against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 4th and went down the mound with 86 pitches, six hits, three outs, five strikeouts and three runs in five innings. The number of pitches was enough, but he is now slightly swollen after being hit by Jake Cave's right hand after one out in the fifth inning. Nail made a throw to the first base and grounded out Cave.
Nail endured the injury and dealt with two out-counts remaining in the fifth inning. Two outs later, Yang Eui-ji hit a solo shot to tie the left side to make it 3-3. Nail allowed a walk to Kim Jae-hwan and a hit to the right by Kim Min-seok, leading to a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second bases, but he blocked additional runs by treating Kim Min-hyuk with a fly ball to center field.

KIA's batting lineup even gave Nail a winning pitcher requirement when he scored an additional point in the top of the sixth inning. While Doosan lowered starter Choi Min-seok and put up Lee Young-ha, Patrick Wisdom hit a two-run shot to left-center with one out and one on the first base to lead 5-3.
KIA replaced the mound with rookie Sung Young-tak ahead of the defense in the bottom of the sixth inning.
An official from KIA said "The nail was replaced as a protection due to bruising on the back of the right hand and fine swelling. He stressed that it was not a serious injury, explaining that he is currently undergoing icing treatment and there are no plans for hospital checkups on that day.
KIA is suffering from a lot of injuries this year. Na Sung-beom (calf), Kim Do-young (hamstring), Kim Sun-bin (calf), Lee Chang-jin (hamstring), and Park Jung-woo (hamstring) are out due to injuries, while left-hander must-winner Kwak Do-gyu ended the season completely with elbow surgery. Hwang Dong-ha, who was expected to be an alternative starting pitcher, became difficult to take the mound in the first half due to an unexpected traffic accident. In this situation, it would have been difficult if even the nails had been bruised seriously, but they seem to be relieved that they do not have to undergo a hospital examination.
