He thanked me for believing in him even though his batting performance was not good."

Yasiel Puig, a 35-year-old foreign hitter of the Kiwoom Heroes, is no longer a villain. He went to the hospital for a medical checkup due to his shoulder injury, but showed support for his teammates in the dugout.안전놀이터

Puig injured his shoulder while playing against the Doosan Bears at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 23rd. In the bottom of the second inning, with one out and no runner, he got on base after being hit by a 125km curve thrown by opponent starter Kim Yoo-sung. Puig's shoulder strongly hit the ground in the process of omitting the first base on the check ball in the next Lim Ji-yeol's at-bat. Puig, who complained of pain, turned his shoulder and checked the abnormalities and played the game until the end without any problems.

Puig suffered severe pain on the morning of the 24th, the next day. The tension caused by the match was relieved the next day, and Puig felt pain in his left shoulder late. He was immediately moved to a hospital and was diagnosed with rotator cuff damage. According to Kiwoom, the second examination revealed a partial damage to the left maxillary muscle (shoulder). Fortunately, the damage is not severe, so he is not excluded from the first-team entry. He will take a few days off and watch the progress.

That's a relief. Puig has a batting average of 0.217 (23 hits in 106 at-bats) with four homers and 14 RBIs in 27 games this season. As his batting slump continued, he trained with batting coach Oh Yoon and other coaching staff to correct his batting posture. He was regretful because he suffered the injury at a pace where his batting performance was rising by hitting a home run against Doosan on the 22nd and multi-hits on the 23rd. "Even when Puig was in a slump, he thanked him for trusting him and using him," a Kiwoom official said. Coach Hong Won-ki also expressed regret, saying, "Puig is the type to play despite his slight pain."

Fortunately, Puig was given a chance to make amends. After the second round of checkups, Puig even showed his support for his teammates while watching the game from the dugout. We wonder how Puig will perform for his team after recovering from his injury.
