The Samsung Lions are in danger of losing foreign batters due to injuries this time.
Samsung is playing the first game of three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 27th. But an unusual injury occurred.
Samsung's offense in the top of the fourth inning when they were 0-0 against each other. After one out, Diaz, a foreign hitter, entered the batter's box. In the 1S situation, Kiwoom starter Heyesus threw a strong 149km fastball toward Diaz's body.
However, the ball was too close to the body. He hit Diaz's left hand, which was moving the center of gravity for a hit. It hit the blade of the left wrist. The bat came out and was hit, adding to the shock.
Diaz complained of tremendous pain, and head coach Chung Dae-hyun and the coaching staff rushed out quickly. After checking the condition of Diaz, I marked an X on the bench. It meant I couldn't play more.
Diaz was immediately replaced by Yoon Jeong-bin. If it is a fracture, it will be a really painful negative factor for Samsung.
Samsung kicked out McKinnon due to sluggishness and ambitiously pulled out the Cardenas card. However, Cardenas was injured and packed up amid controversy over the layoff. Samsung dramatically recruited Diaz ahead of the 15th, the last deadline for the postseason. After wearing Samsung's uniform, he played a solid role with a batting average of 333, three home runs and seven RBIs, and if Diaz is seriously injured, it could be a fatal blow to Samsung, which is fighting for the lead.
