Will a miraculous return be possible.

NC Dinos Son Ah-seop, who left due to injury to the posterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, finally caught the bat. NC said in a briefing on the status of injured players on the 2nd that `Son Ah-seop has started the batting training program.' The fact that Son Ah-seop, who started a step-by-step running program earlier and is in progress, grabbed the bat means that he has come to the point where he can recall the word 'return'.

Son Ah-seop tried to catch a fly ball during defense against Changwo SSG on July 4, the final match of the first half I collided with Park Min-woo. As a result of the diagnosis, damage to the posterior cruciate ligament of the left knee was found, and at least two months of rehabilitation were needed. Even if the recovery is quick, it is expected to return after mid-September if the time to develop performance and senses is added.

The departure of 'hitmaker', which set a new KBO league record for the most hits this season, was too painful for NC. Once threatening the top ranks, it is now difficult to revive hopes for fall baseball. However, there is still a possibility of a miracle.

Even if Son Ah-seop returns, it is unclear whether he will show the same performance as before his injury. It is not a simple problem in that it is an injury area that affects the overall performance. Considering the age of mid-30s, it is also worrisome that it may affect the ability to exercise because it is the aftermath of the injury. However, his joining in every game, just like the nickname 'Man of Grit', is expected to give great hope to NC, which is in a tough fight at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Shin Min-hyuk's surgery date has been confirmed.

NC announced that `Shin Min-hyuk will perform surgery to remove bone fragments in his right elbow on the 6th.' The rehabilitation period is expected to be materialized through follow-up observation after surgery.

Shin Min-hyuk has been suffering from elbow pain this season. The pennant race's performance has been on the schedule by receiving injection treatment with an 8-9 record and a 4.31 ERA in 121 innings in 26 games, but NC had a lot of concerns in that the surgery date could not be delayed.

NC manager Kang In-kwon tried to solve Shin Min-hyuk's elbow problem after the match against KIA in Changwon on the 24th of last month. However, as veteran right-hander sidearm Lee Jae-hak left due to back pain, Shin Min-hyuk turned to stand on the mound until the match against Incheon SSG on the 31st. Shin Min-hyuk suffered a loss even after a quality start (more than 6 innings, less than 3 earned runs, QS) in 6 innings against KIA, but he became the winning pitcher by recreating 2 runs and QS pitching in 6 innings against SSG. Now, through postoperative rehabilitation, the focus is on the 'future' next year.

Meanwhile, NC revealed that Park Kun-woo, who left due to a fracture of the right ulnar bone and damage to the wrist ligament, is in the fixed and stable condition of the injured area. Kim Young-kyu, who is out due to inflammation of his left shoulder, is training to catch, and Lee Jae-hak, who was eliminated from the first team due to a sprained right dorsal muscle, is about to return to the first team. Park Young-bin, who suffered a fracture in his right elbow, underwent pin fixation and said he needed rehabilitation for at least three months.
