Yoo Kang-nam started as the sixth catcher in an away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 2nd, but he complained of great pain after being hit in the right knee by a foul hit by LG's No. 3 Austin in defense in the bottom of the fifth inning and eventually limped into the dugout.
Yoo Kang-nam was replaced by Ahn Hyun-min's right collarbone in the match against KT Wiz in Busan on August 28. Fortunately, it was not a major injury such as a fracture, but it was a simple bruise because it was hit by a part without protective equipment. Still, he took a break from the game on the 29th due to pain, but he showed his fighting spirit to start in both home games against the Doosan Bears in Busan on the 30th and 31st.
Yoo Kang-nam also started on the same day, swinging at his first at-bat in the top of the second inning, and a trainer came out to check his condition due to pain in his collarbone. Fortunately, he continued to play, but he suffered an unexpected injury in the bottom of the fifth inning.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Austin hit a low 148km fastball thrown by Lotte starter Park Se-woong for the second pitch, and the ball hit Yoo Kang-nam's inside of his right knee.
There was protective equipment, but the pain was great, and even manager Kim Tae-hyung, a former catcher, came out to check his condition and decided to replace the catcher. Son Sung-bin quickly prepared and struck out Austin swinging with a slider.
Lotte said "Yu Kang-nam was confirmed to have bruised the inside of his right knee" and "Icing is currently in progress and will watch the condition."
