San Diego shortstop Kim Ha-sung (29), who suffered a shoulder injury, has been excluded from the starting lineup for the home game at Petco Park in San Diego, California on Tuesday. Tyler Wade (30) will replace Kim as shortstop and the ninth batter.
Kim Ha-sung’s injury occurred on Wednesday, a day earlier. He started the game as shortstop and eighth hitter against Colorado at an away game held at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, and his injury came during offense in the top of the third inning.
Kim Ha-sung, who came to the batter’s box as a leadoff hitter, hit a 94.9-mile four-seam fastball and connected it to a hit in front of left field after a close game of six pitches against Colorado starter Bradley Blaylock (24).
Kim Ha-sung, who went to first base, immediately complained of shoulder pain as his right hand folded to the base while sliding in the process of returning to the base when opposing pitcher Blaylock threw a check ball to the first base during the batter’s box of Luis Arraez (27).
Kim Ha-sung, who usually played in pain and discouraged his trainer and coaching staff, was different on the day. As if he sensed an injury during the sliding process, he immediately sent a signal to the San Diego dugout near the third base.
Kim Ha-sung, who got up with his left hand covering his injured right shoulder, then walked to the third base San Diego dugout without hesitation. Afterwards, as he went down the stairs and went toward the clubhouse, he expressed resentment for the sudden injury, throwing away his helmet.
In an interview with local media after the game, Kim Ha-sung said through interpreter David Lee, “I will take an MRI scan tomorrow morning to determine the extent of damage to the shoulder,” adding, “But I will think positively and try to come back as soon as possible.”
The San Diego Union-Turribune mentioned how to send Xander Bogaerts (32) back to shortstop and return Jake Cronenworth (30) to his original position, second base, in case Kim Ha-sung is out of power due to an injury. He pointed out that if that happens, Bogaerts, Cronenworth, and Luis Arraez (27) will take turns because of overlapping infield positions.
San Diego coach Mike Sheldt avoided immediate answer to the question and expressed his intention to prepare for Kim Ha-sung’s injury, saying, “Tyler Wade (30), who was put in place of Kim Ha-sung, did a good job today. We will look into the resources available in our team’s roster.”
In the meantime, San Diego’s official position related to Kim Ha-sung’s MRI examination has not yet been released. Many fans are paying attention to Kim Ha-sung’s condition, which was excluded from the starting lineup of the game on the 20th.
메이저사이트 The best scenario is to be treated as “Day to day,” or a minor injury that checks the condition of the day. However, the worst case of season out cannot be ruled out because the shoulder is the part.
