Despite the team's successful performance, the head coach is full of worries. KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul (60) expressed his intention to give Heo Kyung-min (36), who left due to a dune injury, enough time to rest.

Coach Lee Kang-chul said ahead of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season home game against the Samsung Lions at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 3rd, "Huh Kyung-min is not good. I think I need to do another examination," he sighed.

Heo Kyung-min was hit in the head by Um Sang-baek's 146km/h fastball in the top of the fifth inning against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on March 31. Heo Kyung-min collapsed due to a direct hit to the helmet and couldn't get up for a while, and Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park, which had a full crowd, fell silent.

It looked okay. After lying down for about two minutes, Huh Kyung-min got up on his own and left the ground with his own feet. In the process, he soothed his junior Um Sang-baek (30, Hanwha), who was surprised to get him right.

After that, he also joined the first team entry for two days. Since then, the results of the examination have not been significantly abnormal. However, the dizziness did not disappear, and he was eliminated from the first team along with first-round pitcher Park Ji-hoon (19). The vacancy was filled by catcher Kim Min-seok and infielder Kang Min-sung. Kim Min-seok is to replace Cho Dae-hyun, who has pain in his hamstring.

Coach Lee Kang-chul said, "(Heo) Kyung-min said he had a headache again today. In the meantime, I only took a CT scan, but they told me to take an MRI again. He said he still had dizziness, so he took it out of the entry for now. I think it would be better to give time," he said.

According to KT club officials, they have undergone two CT scans since March 31. We plan to check the condition after conducting an MRI examination on this day.
