The leading KIA Tigers are on alert. Yoon Young-chul (20), a second-year left-hander who was keeping the starting rotation, was found to have a spinal fatigue fracture.
KIA team officially announced on the 15th that Yoon Young-chul, who came down from the mound due to back pain during the game against SSG at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 13th, received a spinal fatigue fracture as a result of a double check on the 15th (Sejong Sports Orthopedic Surgery, Leon Orthopedic Surgery). He added that 'It is scheduled to be re-examined in three weeks, and the timing of return will be determined after the re-examination.'"
Yoon Young-chul started the game against SSG Landers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 13th and completely blocked the SSG lineup with one hit and no run in two innings.

Yoon Young-chul immediately went to a nearby hospital during the game and underwent the first detailed examination.
At that time, the result of the examination was lumbar inflammation. In the meantime, it was an area that had been under management due to occasional pain. At that time, there were suspected fatigue fractures, but if it was only inflammation, it might not have been a serious result.
But the foreboding became a reality.
As a result of re-examination at the hospital on the 15th to avoid the weekend for cross-check, he was diagnosed with fatigue fractures with news like a bolt from the blue.
Fatigue fractures, called stress fractures, are caused by stress building up in parts of the bone as the muscles become tired from repeated stimuli such as severe training and use. The bone appears in the form of incontinence that is not completely broken, and even if there are suspicious symptoms, fracture lines are often not found on the initial X-ray examination. This is why fatigue fractures were confirmed only in the double check.
Depending on the condition, it may be a quick recovery, but if it is too much, it can lead to a complete fracture, so you need to be extra careful. Yoon Young-chul, who was removed from the entry on the 14th, will focus on treatment and rehabilitation to recover from his injury. It is expected to take a considerable amount of time as he was diagnosed with fatigue fractures.
KIA, which lost foreign Wil Crowe and Jung Hae-young due to injury, turned on a red light on the mound as Yoon Young-chul left for a long time due to injury.
KIA will play three consecutive home games in Gwangju against the Samsung Lions, who are chasing by 4.5 games from the 16th. Yang Hyun-jong will start on the 16th. Samsung starter Reyes will face off as a starter for a head start.
