[스포츠조선 박상경 기자] I caught the ball. However, the KIA Tigers are still cautious.
The match between KIA Tigers and LG Twins was held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 10th. With one out and the bases loaded in the top of the second inning, KIA Lee Ui-ri comes off the mound after complaining of elbow pain. Gwangju = Park Jae-man reporter pjm@sportschosun.com/2024.04.10
Whether left-handed starting pitcher Lee Ui-ri (22) returns. It is still a question mark.

Eui-ri Lee recently joined the rehab group. Lee Ui-ri, who started against LG in Gwangju on the 10th of last month but complained of pain in his left elbow and voluntarily took the mound, was diagnosed with a left elbow flexor sprain during inspection the next day and was suspended. As the injury was not serious, he was expected to return to the tournament after rest and rehabilitation.
KIA, which was leading comfortably until April, is slowly starting to crack in May. There was no pleasure in using other starters, and the load on the starters and the bull seemed to be getting worse. It is time to build on the April movement, but it is not gaining momentum. The return of Lee Ui-ri, who not only fills a place in the starting rotation but is able to play long innings, is certainly a big boost to the KIA mound, so it is difficult to ignore aimed to turn away easily. returned.
However, KIA coach Lee Beom-ho seems to be focusing more on stability after that than on comeback speed.
Regarding Lee Ui-ri’s recent situation, Coach Lee said, “He made a pitch. After the examination, we plan to decide whether he will be involved in (Futures) or not,” and explained , “This is for safe preparation.” On the 1st, he explained the live pitching of Lee Ui-ri’s rehabilitation team, saying, “After you throw the ball, you can only go up (to play the game) if all anything, including the position of your body and feeling (about the injured part) okay,” and “A little.” He explained, “If you have a strange feeling, it is right to postpone it,” and said that the period could be delayed for as long as 15 days.
After Lee Ui-ri returned to the first team after a month-long break, he should be aiming for a full-time season. To do that, you need to be in perfect physical condition and then move up to the first team. If the starting rotation is left again due to repeated injuries, the blow to KIA will inevitably be severe. This is why both KIA and Director Lee emphasize ‘perfection’ as the basis for Lee Ui-ri’s return.
Currently, Hwang Dong-ha has taken over the new starting baton after Kim Geon-guk. Kim Sa-yoon and Kim Do-hyun, who can play multiple innings, are included in the first team entry, and other candidates are waiting in Futures. At first, KIA has no choice but to hold out until Lee Ui-ri returns.
