Bad news has come to the professional baseball team Doosan Bears. Right-handed starting pitcher Choi Jun-ho (20) has been out of action due to a partial rupture of his left ankle ligament.
A Doosan official said on the 6th, “Jun-ho Choi was diagnosed with a partial ligament rupture during a detailed examination on the 5th,” and “He will be wearing a cast for two weeks, and then will be re-examined and a rehabilitation schedule will be set at a later date.”
Choi Jun-ho was injured when he slipped while covering first base during the 3rd inning while handling a ground ball from Lee Ju-hyung in the game against Kiwoom Heroes held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 3rd.
Choi Jun-ho was replaced as is and went into the dugout 한국을 to receive treatment.
Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop, whom we met at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 6th, said regretfully, “I heard he will be re-examined in two weeks, but it seems like it will take about eight weeks until he returns.”
Choi Jun-ho recorded 3 wins, 6 losses, and an ERA of 5.10 in 16 games this season.
Doosan suffered a significant blow when Choi Jun-ho, who had been responsible for a spot in the starting rotation, was injured and left the game.
