Kang Baek-ho, the main player of kt wiz, and foreign pitcher Enmanuel de Heissus were excluded from the first-team entry due to muscle injuries.토토사이트

A KT official said on the 19th, "Kang Baek-ho was recently diagnosed with damage to his right side's external oblique muscle, and he will establish a treatment plan after a re-examination on the 21st." He also said, "Heysus constantly complains of discomfort in his left thigh, so he will also be re-examined on the 21st."

This is not the first time Kang has suffered a side injury. He ended the season with a strong swing in the match against Cheong-baek ahead of the 2023 post-season, and experienced similar pain at the end of the 2022 season. Experts say that Kang's batting form, which uses his unique strong body rotation when hitting, is a factor that puts pressure on his side muscles. In 2023, he recommended modifying his batting form to reduce the risk of injury inside KT, but there was no significant change.

Kang Baek-ho, who will become an FA after the 2025 season, has a batting average of 0.264 (29th), three homers (14th joint) and 10 RBIs (31st joint) in 21 games this season.

Heysus was replaced after complaining of pain after pitching three innings against the NC Dinos on the 9th, and after a short break, he started against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 18th, but was eventually excluded from the entry due to continued pain. He has been outstanding in five games this season with 1-1 losses and 1.01 ERA (second place).

With the injuries of the two key players, KT is expected to struggle with the management of alternative players.
