The Kia Tigers have been hit with another injury.

The organization announced on the 15th that left-handed starting pitcher Yoon Young-cheol was diagnosed with a fatigue fracture of the spine and will be re-examined in three weeks.

The timing of Yoon’s return will only be known after the re-examination.

Yoon went down with back pain during a game against the SSG Landers on the 13th and was examined by two orthopedic clinics on the 15th and was diagnosed with a fatigue fracture of the spine.

With Yoon’s departure, Kia will have to fill the starting pitching hole immediately.

Yoon, in his second year, has appeared in 16 games this year, posting a 7-4 record with a 4.30 ERA. As the team’s fifth starter, he has the second-most wins behind No. 1 starter James Nail (eight).

Kia is currently 4.5 to 5.5 games out of first place, but a shaky starting rotation could put them in a position where first place is far from assured.

Kia has already lost two of its five starters to injury this year.

No. 1 starter Will Crowe returned to the U.S. with medial collateral ligament damage in his right elbow, while No. 4 Lee Yi-ri underwent surgery last month to reconstruct the medial collateral ligament in his left elbow and remove bone chips, ending his season.

Kia is expected to rotate its starting lineup with Nail, Yang Hyun-jong, Cam Aldred and Hwang Dong-ha, while Kim Gun-guk is expected to fill Yoon Young-chul’s vacant spot. 카지노사이트 추천
