There was a big bad news for the third-place Lotte Giants. The main hitter Jeon Jun-woo injured his hamstring.

Jeon Joon-woo started the game against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 5th as the sixth designated hitter. In the bottom of the first inning, he hit a ground ball to the first base in the first at-bat with two outs and a full base, and ran all out to live somehow, but he had a problem with his left hamstring.

It was expected to be replaced immediately. This is because Jeon Jun-woo complained of severe pain. He walked on his own, but limped off the ground with a hard time. Jeon Jun-woo was replaced by Jung Hoon ahead of his second at-bat with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning.




A Lotte official said, `Jeon Jun-woo is currently suffering from pain in his left hamstring. After watching the progress, we will decide whether to have a hospital examination or not," he said.

Before the game, Jeon Jun-woo had a batting average of 0.289 (108 hits in 374 at-bats, seven home runs, 64 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.784 in 103 games. He is a veteran who holds the center of the lineup with Victor Reyes, so if he leaves for a long time, he will suffer a lot of damage.

Among injuries, hamstrings are a very sensitive area. No matter how mild the pain is, it is a part where you have to rest for more than 10 days, and if it is very serious, you can leave for more than 8 weeks. This is why attention is being paid to whether or not the hospital will be screened.




Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung is currently in third place, but his hitting pace is not that good right now. From the manager's point of view, there should be something to overcome a pitcher with good pitching, but the batting pace is not very good."

In the meantime, Jeon Jun-woo is on the verge of leaving, so his head seems to be complicated.
