Kim Do-young hit a timely hit to the left in the bottom of the fifth inning, trailing the Kiwoom Heroes in 2025 professional baseball 0-2 at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 27th, and succeeded in getting on base with two outs and third base, and felt an abnormality in his right thigh during the steal process.

He asked for time after successfully stealing second base with a headfirst sliding, and was replaced by runner Kim Kyu-sung after explaining his physical condition to the training coach.토토사이트

Kim Do-young then moved to a nearby hospital for a detailed examination and was diagnosed with damage to her right hamstring (back muscle of her thigh).

Kim Do-young is expected to be out of power for the time being, with an KIA official saying, "We will undergo a cross-examination on the 28th for an accurate diagnosis."

It is not the first time that Kim has been injured. Kim, who received the MVP award of the regular league last season, suffered a left hamstring injury in the opening game against the NC Dinos at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on March 22.

He returned to the first team on the 25th of last month after committing to recovery and rehabilitation for about a month, but was again hit by an injury reef a month later.

KIA's strength has become inevitable due to Kim Do-young's injury. Before the game on the day, Kim had a batting average of 0.330, seven homers and 25 RBIs in 26 games this season. Notably, he had been reemerging as the core of Kia's batting lineup, including homers in the last four consecutive games.

Defending champion Kia Tigers is suffering from string injuries of its main players this season. Early in the season, Kim Do-young, Park Chan-ho and Kim Sun-bin were out due to injuries before returning to the team, while foreign batters Patrick Wisdom and captain Na Sung-bum were out due to injuries.

Recently, Kim Sun-bin was excluded from the entry again due to left calf muscle damage, and Kim Do-young was also injured.

On the mound, key left-hander bullpen Kwak Do-kyu was out for the season after undergoing ligament surgery in his left elbow, and starting pitcher Hwang Dong-ha was canceled after a car accident earlier this month.

Kim Do-young's exact injury is expected to be official after cross-checking on the 28th, but he will have to play as a batting lineup without Kim Do-young for the time being.
