Gocheok Kiwoom match on the 27th. As soon as Kiwoom starter Heyesus' 149km fastball hit Samsung's No. 4 Diaz's left wrist, Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who was looking worried, also turned away.

Things looked that bad. My favorite ball. come out to play I was hit on the lower part of my wrist, which is a weak area. The ball that hit Diaz fell vertically just down.

The impact of the ball falling directly in front of the body without splashing out much is added. a situation in which a microfracture is suspected.



Fortunately, it was Diaz's response. Grasping the wrist and in pain, he missed the game after checking his trainer. It was a painful part, so it was worth jumping up and down, but he went back to the dugout with no expression as if it wasn't a big deal. A situation where people around you were more anxious than you were and worried.

Diaz was immediately transferred to a nearby CM Chungmu Hospital after icing for an X-ray examination. Fortunately, without any specific findings, a simple bruising decision was made.



A Samsung official said, `Diaz himself does not feel uncomfortable. We will conduct a final inspection of the condition through training on the 28th."

Samsung, which is competing for the lead, avoided major negative factors.

MacKinnon's alternate alien, Cardenas' alternative alien. McKinnon, who missed the lack of slugging. The substitute, Cardenas, had two home runs in seven games, including a walk-off home run, and he was certain to have a long hit.



However, he was hampered by back pain during the game. I took a break and the results of the examination were fine. However, he continued to complain of pain and was anxious. The club made a decision when the team's teamwork was shaken by the body-saving play.

He headed to the Mexican League in a short time of about 10 days, the last registration deadline for postseason participation, and was able to announce the recruitment of Lewin Diaz a day before the deadline.

The adventure was a success.

Diaz, who is wearing a Samsung uniform, has a batting average of 321, three home runs, seven RBIs, and a slugging percentage of 0.679 in eight games, including homers in his second and first division debuts. 'What if even the third foreigner fails?' A perfect performance that dispels Samsung's anxiety.

Coach Park Jin-man said, "(Thanks to Diaz, the weight of our central batters has been added. I feel like I'm playing well thanks to that."

However, he almost blew the rest of the season in his eighth game. If it was a serious injury like a broken dune, Samsung would have given up saying it would not have any relationship with a foreign hitter this season. After taking a deep sigh, Samsung continued its lead with a 1-0 win over Kiwoom in the midst of starting pitcher Conor Seabold's first shutout victory in the 11K league.

Unlike Cardenas, who was sensitive to pain, Diaz is proving to be a lucky hitter who was found three times by resolutely coping with unexpected injuries.
