KIA Tigers' Choi Hyung-woo, who was replaced by right side pain during the hit, was canceled in the first division. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho called up Lee Woo-sung by excluding Choi Hyung-woo from the first-team entry ahead of the KT Wiz match at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 7th.
Choi Hyung-woo emerged in the process of hitting a fastball to his body that entered the batter's box in the bottom of the eighth inning against KT on the 6th. After making a foul ball, he sent an autograph to the bench without returning to the batter's box. KIA called in Choi Hyung-woo and put Lee Chang-jin to the plate after checking his condition. KIA said "Choi Hyung-woo felt pain in his right side and replaced it as protection, and he will watch his condition and have a checkup."
The results of the examination are shocking. As a result of MRI examination at the club-designated hospital, he was diagnosed with micro-damage of the right internal radiology. Manager Lee said, `When I was hit by a dune in three consecutive games last weekend, I scratched myself. It continued, and I think there was a strain in the swing process."
Manager Lee said "There seems to be some muscle damage. I think I'll have to schedule (rehabilitation) after I have a re-examination in two weeks" he said. "It's not a major injury, but I thought it would be better to judge again in two weeks because it was a side part," he said, adding that "I intend to set a return date after seeing the results of the re-examination."

Choi Hyung-woo's injury has emptied the position of the fourth designated hitter. Manager Lee said, `We will use the designated hitter position considering the batter's condition and the opposing pitcher in general without specifying any one player.'
