"That's a relief. It's not too much to worry about."

As the regular season approaches the end, the ranking competition has become even hotter. The NC Dinos were nervous about the injury of the native ace.

NC will play the Lotte Giants 'Nakdong River Derby' at Changwon NC Park on the 26th. For the first time in NC club history, all three consecutive weekend games were sold out.



However, NC manager Kang In-kwon was full of worries about Shin Min-hyuk, who left the week-long series against the KIA Tigers due to elbow pain. Shin Min-hyuk was found to be not in a serious situation after undergoing a thorough examination that day.

Shin Min-hyuk is a player who originally had elbow issues. In the past, he has suffered from injections for problems with elbow bone fragments moving around. I always had anxiety. According to the results of this examination, Shin Min-hyuk's elbow pain was caused by bone fragments falling off and moving around.

Since he has been excluded from the first-team entry anyway, he will focus on checking his arm condition. Still, it was concluded that it was possible to take the mound after 10 days.

NC manager Kang In-kwon explained, `Depending on where the fallen bone fragments are deposited, there are times when the arm is uncomfortable.' `The part that fell off slightly when the CT scan was taken before has now completely fallen off and is located on the other side.'



"There is no need for surgery at this point. However, we have to wait and see how it will affect the pitch," he added.

Shin Min-hyuk's starting vacancy is being agonized over Choi Sung-young and Lee Jun-ho of the first team and Lee Yong-joon of the Futures. Director Kang In-kwon said, `I will decide after checking my condition.'

Shin Min-hyuk is the first Korean starter for this year's NC selection team. Shin Min-hyuk, who started against KIA in Gwangju on the 24th, gave up a walk at Soccretas' at-bat with two outs in the second inning and held his elbow. As the next pitcher called in the successor, Shin Min-hyuk's record was five runs (0 earned) in one ⅔.

However, Shin Min-hyuk's presence is huge. Kyle Hart is pitching like the first starter, but Daniel Castano has ups and downs, including six runs in four ⅓ against KIA on the 23rd. Lee Jae-hak is filling up other domestic starters, but Lee Jae-hak is also a player who has just returned from injury.

Coach Kang In-kwon said, `I'm a little concerned about Castano's economic ups and downs, maybe because of the heat,' but added, `He is playing the role of an inning player every game"I looked back.

As for the recent ranking fight "We don't know what will happen until the end. Only the 1st and 2nd places (KIA Tigers-LG Twins) have a little room, but the rest of them will have a bloody battle that cannot be guaranteed until 20 games and 10 games are left."
