LG Twins' new closer Jang Hyun-sik, who returned home early after injuring his ankle while walking, had a partial ligament tear.
LG announced the results of Jang Hyun-sik's detailed examination on the 22nd. LG said "Jang Hyun-sik was found to have partial rupture of ligament on the outside of his right foot after MRI and detailed examination on the 21st."According to the findings that gradual rehabilitation is possible after a week of stability, it is expected that it will take about four weeks to play catch and return from two weeks later."
It was the same news as the blue sky at the end of the Arizona training camp. LG said on the 19th that `"Jang Hyun-sik tripped his right foot and sprained his right ankle while walking on the evening of the 16th local time in the United States. On the 18th, a nearby hospital examined the X-ray and received a test result showing no abnormal bones"He will depart for Korea on the 19th local time and undergo an MRI and a detailed examination at the hospital immediately after arriving."
Even if there was no problem with the bone, there was a big problem with the ligament, so if it was taken out from the opening, the LG bullpen had no choice but to start in a chaotic state.
Jang Hyun-sik is one of the most important people this season. LG was brought in by signing an unconventional contract with a full guarantee of 5.2 billion won for four years to strengthen the bullpen.
Jang Hyun-sik, who pitched in 75 games for the KIA Tigers last year with a 5-4 record and a 3.94 ERA with 16 holds, also contributed to KIA's victory with a 0.00 ERA with one hold in five games in the Korean Series.

However, after Yoo Young-chan returned from Premier 12, the plan was disrupted when a medical check found a microfracture of the elbow cranial bone. First of all, it is said that about three months of rehabilitation are needed, but we don't know when the microfractures will stick. Manager Yeom postponed Yoo Young-chan's return to the second half of the year, and decided to fix Jang Hae-sik as the closing pitcher and reorganize the bullpen. So he recruited veteran FA Kim Kang-ryul and even brought in sidearm Shim Chang-min, who was released from NC. As a compensation player for Choi Won-tae, who left as an FA, he brought Choi Chae-heung, his left hand, and tried to strengthen the mound.
Meanwhile, Jang Hyun-sik was not injured during exercise, but was injured while walking.
Jang Hyun-sik posted on his SNS for LG fans who are worried about him "Thank you for your concern. I'll do my best, thinking that it's only for LG Twins," he wrote.
Fortunately, it's not a major injury. It has become important how well you rehabilitate and return.
