San Diego Padres shortstop Kim Ha Seong has received an unfavorable result on the X-ray of his wrist injury during a game.
During the home game against the LA Dodgers on the 13th (Korean time), Kim was hit by a ball on his left wrist during the 4th inning’s attack and had to leave the field.
San Diego’s manager, Mike Shildt, stated in an interview with the press that Kim has been classified as day-to-day, meaning they will check his situation daily and decide when he will return.
Fortunately, day-to-day indicates that the player has avoided a significant injury and can return quickly.
Kim played as a shortstop and ninth batter the day of the incident and was out with a fly out to left field in his first at-bat.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Walker Buehler of the Dodgers threw a ball to Kim, hitting him on his left wrist. Kim showed signs of severe pain.
During the top of the 5th inning’s defense, infielder Tyler Wade replaced Kim, who wanted to continue playing.
If Kim’s wrist had been confirmed to be fractured, he would have been unable to play at least for the first half of the season.
However, with the X-ray results coming back negative, he was able to avoid the worst-case scenario.
