How did I get four hits with my fractured finger? KT Kim Sang-soo's cancellation, re-examination on the 26th

Kim Sang-soo started as the 7th-2nd baseman in the match against Incheon SSG Landers on the 23rd and made four hits in four at-bats. However, the injury occurred in the top of the second inning. Kim Sang-soo, who got on base with a walk, entered the third base when Bae Jeong-dae hit, and came home with a sliding that threw his whole body during Shim Woo-joon's first-pitch surprise bunt attempt. However, as the ball was ruled a foul, Kim Sang-soo went back to third base, and he felt uncomfortable with his right little finger during the sliding process.
Kim Sang-soo, who briefly sat around the home plate and took off his gloves to check the condition of his finger, seemed to feel extreme pain, and checked the coaching staff and training parts, but continued to play until the ninth inning after judging that it was okay. And put on a four-hit batting show.
But the next day, the pinky finger was swollen. The first examination of the hospital revealed a suspected microfracture.
KT manager Lee Kang-chul, who met ahead of the SSG match on the 24th, said "He is in a situation of swelling. I talked about it for about four weeks at the hospital where I had the first checkup, and I'm going to have the second checkup on Monday (26th). Kim Sang-soo himself is said to be a pinky finger, so he thinks he can do it as long as it doesn't swell up. Yesterday, I saw my little finger bent slightly to the side and said, `I don't think I can do this,' but he played until the end of the game. Fortunately, it is not a very difficult part, but the player himself is strongly motivated to play as long as he is not swollen."
KT first excluded Kim Sang-soo from the first-team entry and called up Lee Ho-yeon. Kim Sang-soo's departure is fatal in the face of a fierce five-way battle. Recently, he has been in charge of the main second baseman, and even the sense of hitting has revived, but as Kim Sang-soo fell out, he has been agonizing over second base again.
