Park Byung-ho of the Samsung Lions, who is out due to a hamstring injury, is expected to return sooner than expected.

Samsung will play the first game of the weekday series against the Lotte Giants at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 19th.

Park Byung-ho felt pain in his right hamstring during the sprint against the KIA Tigers on the 17th. On the 18th, he was diagnosed with hamstring muscle damage and 8 weeks of rehabilitation at a hospital in Gwangju.

However, the results of the re-examination at Sejong Sports Orthopedic Clinic in Seoul are even more fortunate. According to the Samsung club, the diagnosis of partial rupture of the hamstring is correct, but the rehabilitation period has been greatly reduced to four weeks. He is cautious because he was injured when he was in KT Wiz, but on the contrary, he is expected to be familiar and recover quickly.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who met before the game, said, "(After checking in Seoul, I heard a positive story today that the recovery will be faster (than expected)," and added, "(I expect to see you day by day and get better as soon as possible and come back."

First of all, Park Byung-ho is scheduled to receive outpatient treatment for about a week at Songdo Plus Hospital in Incheon. I'm going to join the Gyeongsan Rehabilitation Team next week.

In this season, Park has played in 80 games and has a batting average of 211, nine homers and 28 RBIs. When he was KT, he gave up his main position due to his injury at the beginning of the season and Moon Sang-chul's awakening, and later changed his uniform to the Samsung Lions on May 28.

At KT, he was sluggish with a batting average of less than 20% (198), but he improved slightly with a batting average of 223, six home runs and 18 RBIs in 36 games since his transfer. Immediately after the transfer, he hit a home run and swung a fire bat, but after being somewhat sluggish since mid-June, he left due to an unexpected injury.

Samsung filled in new foreign player Ruben Cardenas in the 4th place without Park Byung-ho. On this day, Samsung will play in the lineup of Kim Heon-gon (designated hitter), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Koo Ja-wook (left fielder), Cadenas (right fielder), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Kim Young-woong (third base), Lee Sung-kyu (middle fielder), Jeon Byung-woo (first base), and Ahn Ju-hyung (second base). The starter is Baek Jung-hyun.
