Won Jong-hyun injured and removed from first team roster…”We’ll have to wait for further medical results”
Kiwoom’s mound has been hit with an injury blow.
Kiwoom made changes to its first-team roster ahead of the game against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium on July 7. Pitcher Won Jong-hyun was removed from the first team.
“The part (right elbow ligament) that hurt in April has recurred again, and it seems to be in a slightly worse condition as a result of the medical examination,” Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said before the game, adding, “Injuries are unfortunate not only for the player but also for the team.”메이저놀이터
Won had previously been sidelined for a month in early April after suffering an elbow flexor injury. This time, the team will have to wait for the exact results of the examination.
Won, who joined Kiwoom as a free agent last winter, posted a 5.79 ERA in 18.2 innings over 20 games this season.
In Won’s place, right-hander Kim Sung-jin was called up to the first team. After being removed from the first team roster on March 26, Kim rejoined the first team. This season, he went 1-5 with a 3.71 ERA in 30 games.
