I can't do it at all today either The 31-home run hitter who hit the most after Diaz is not allowed to play again

"I think it's going to be hard to get a substitute today. I'll have to wait and see for a few days."

KIA Tigers foreign hitter Patrick Wisdom will miss again due to back pain.

KIA will play a home game against SSG Landers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 4th. Wisdom was not in the starting lineup on the day. Yoon Do-hyun will play as the starting third baseman for KIA, while Oh Sun-woo will take charge of the first base.




Wisdom has been suffering from back pain recently. It is a symptom similar to the injury that occurred in May. He started as the fifth hitter-1st baseman against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 2nd, but was replaced after only one at-bat, complaining of back discomfort, and the entire SSG match was omitted on the 3rd.

And it is difficult to go on a business trip to Gyeonggi Province on the 4th. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said, `I don't think I can even substitute. I think it's not good, and I think we'll have to wait and see for a few days. I think there is a part where the back is pressed like when it was bad before. Anything else is fine, but there seems to be a limited movement yet. If you say it's okay, I think we should start with tee batting. It's not easy to go out until today."

Wisdom, who hit 31 home runs this season, ranks second in home runs in the league after Samsung Diaz, is in a very embarrassing situation as he has hit a batting average of .114 in the last 10 games and a back injury.
