Seo Geon-chang (37, Keum Heroes), the "main character of the return of romance" of the Kiwoom Heroes, suffered a sad injury.
Kiwoom said on the 20th, "Seo Geon-chang was hit with his third right finger while handling a ground ball during the defense of third base in the bottom of the eighth inning in an exhibition game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 19th."
The Kiwoom club then explained, "As a result of two cross-examinations on the 20th, I received a right distal ligament fracture (middle nail joint)," adding, "It is expected to take about four weeks to recover."
Kiwoom added, "Seo Geon-chang will receive cast treatment without surgery, and will join the Goyang rehabilitation group from the 21st."
Meanwhile, Seo Geon-chang signed a free agent (FA) contract with the KIA Tigers last season for 1+1 year and a total of 500 million won. However, after only 10 games, he eventually left KIA. And ahead of this season, he signed a Kiwoom and an annual salary of 120 million won. He returned to his old team for the first time in five years.
Seo Geon-chang joined the Taiwanese spring camp in Kiwoom and built himself solidly. Kiwoom coach Seol Jong-jin said about Seo Geon-chang's use this season, "First of all, the first is the second baseman. Next, I'm thinking about the first baseman. He can then play as a designated hitter. Of course, joining the entry has not been confirmed yet. I'm going to use it after an exhibition game."
However, as he suffered an unexpected finger injury, he plans to focus on rehabilitation for the time being, while joining the opening entry has failed.
