SSG Landers foreign hitter Herredia started the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 30th.
The unexpected injury occurred in the bottom of the fifth inning. SSG, which was being dragged 1-5 until the top of the fifth inning, succeeded in tying the game 5-5 with consecutive hits in the top of the fifth inning. SSG, which started the chase with Choi Jeong's hit following Jung Joon-jae's sacrifice fly with no outs, hit a two-run timely hit against Kiwoom's second pitcher Cho Young-gun with the bases loaded with one out. SSG, whose Herredia's timely hit became a catalyst, made it 5-5 with Kim Sung-wook's timely hit after two outs.
However, shortly after Kim Sung-wook's timely hit, Herredia, who went to third base when Lee Ji-young hit, asked for a replacement ahead of the next batter Ha Jae-hoon's at-bat. The conditioning coach ran out to check his condition, and already Herredia was walking into the dugout for a replacement, quickly figuring out his condition.
An SSG official said "Eredia felt tightness in the front of her right thigh during the running process in the bottom of the fifth inning and was replaced as protection. After checking the player's condition, we will decide whether to have a hospital check-up or not," he said, explaining the background of the replacement.
The following day, on the 31st, Herredia underwent a thorough examination by cross-checking at the hospital. As a result, simple muscular stiffness was found. It's a situation where you don't have to cancel the entry. However, the tightness still remains, so we will train at the ballpark on this day, check our physical condition, and decide whether to play or not.
Herredia has hit 417 percent in the last 10 games, showing signs of hitting. An unexpected situation of thigh muscle injury came, but fortunately, it is not a major injury, but it is expected that he will be able to play while checking his condition. That's a relief.
Here's another piece of good news for SSG. Shortstop Park Sung-han and catcher Cho Hyung-woo, who had been out due to injury, were scheduled for the Futures game. Park Sung-han will start the Futures League game against the Goyang Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 31st as a designated hitter, and Cho Hyung-woo will play in the Futures League game against the LG Twins' second division at Icheon Stadium on August 1.
