Recently, Eui-ri Lee joined the rehabilitation group. Lee Ui-ri, who started against LG in Gwangju on the 10th of last month but complained of pain in his left elbow and took the mound voluntarily, was diagnosed with a sprain of the left elbow flexor muscle in during inspection the following day and was canceling. As the injury was not serious, he was expected to return to competition after rest and rehabilitation.
KIA, which was leading comfortably until April, is slowly starting to crack in May. There was no enjoyment in using alternative starters, and the load on the starters and bullhead seemed to get worse. It’s time to move forward based on April’s momentum, but it’s not gaining momentum. The return of Lee Ui-ri, who not only fills a spot in the starting rotation but can also play a long inning, is sure to be a big boost to KIA’s mound, so it’s hard to turn the attention that focus away easily. on his return.
However, it seems that KIA coach Lee Beom-ho is more focused on the stability after that rather than the speed of return.
Regarding Lee Ui-ri’s recent condition, Coach Lee said, “He pitched. After the inspection, we plan to decide whether he will participate in (Future) or not,” and explained, “This is for safe preparation .” On the 1st, live pitching of the rehabilitation team Lee Ui-ri explained, saying, “After throwing the ball, you can only go if everything, including the condition of your body and your feeling (about the injured part) up (to play the game),” and “A little.” She explained, “If you have a strange feeling, it’s okay to delay it,” and said the period could be delayed for as long as 15 days.
After Lee Ui-ri returned to the first team after a month’s break, he should aim for a full-time season. To do that, you need to be in perfect physical condition and then move up to the first team. If the starting rotation is emptied again due to injury recurrence, the blow to KIA will inevitably be severe. This is why KIA and Director Lee emphasize ‘perfection’ as a prerequisite for Lee Ui-ri’s comeback.
Currently, Hwang Dong-ha has taken over the new starting baton following Kim Geon-guk. Kim Sa-yoon and Kim Do-hyun, who can play multiple innings, are included in the first team application, and other candidates remain in Futures. First of all, KIA has no choice but to hold out until Lee Ui-ri returns.
