While Kiwoom Heroes’ foreign hitter Ronnie Dawson (29) left due to damage to his right anterior cruciate ligament, Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, “If the final diagnosis comes out next week, we will make a decision after consulting with the general manager.”
Director Hong said, “Dawson was found to have been damaged in the anterior cruciate ligament in both checkups, and he will have his last detailed examination at a university hospital on the 6th.”
Cross ligament injury is slow to recover and has a long rehabilitation period compared to other areas.
According to the results of the first and second examinations, it is difficult to return this season.
Judging coolly, Kiwoom’s recruitment of a new foreign hitter or finding a replacement for injuries will help the team’s power.
However, there is not much time.
According to KBO League regulations, foreign players joining after August 15 are not allowed to play in the postseason (PS).
Kiwoom remains at the bottom as of the 1st, but the gap with fifth-place SSG Landers is only eight games, so it is too early to give up this season.
Kiwoom’s struggles are deepening.
Meanwhile, Dawson was seriously injured when he collided with Lee Yong-kyu in the top of the seventh inning of a home game against the NC Dinos at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 31st of last month.
He led the team’s batting average of 0.330 with 11 homers and 57 RBIs in 95 games this season. 먹튀검증
