The Kia Tigers have lost Will Crowe to injury.
The Kia Tigers announced on Tuesday that Crowe suffered a partial injury to the medial collateral ligament in his right elbow. “He will rehabilitate for two weeks and decide on a rehabilitation period after undergoing a medical examination,” the club said. Crowe’s sudden departure from the lineup has raised red flags for the Kia.
According to the club, Crowe felt discomfort in his elbow after pitching out of the bullpen in preparation for his start on Aug. 8 and underwent an initial checkup at SM Hospital in Daegu. He then traveled to Seoul and underwent a double diagnosis at Sejong Sports Orthopedics and Leone Orthopedics, where he was diagnosed with partial ligament damage.
The loss of Crowe, who has been a one-man two-punch on the starting mound alongside James Nail, has created an emergency in the KIA lineup. 카지노사이트 With Lee Lee-ri yet to return, the team was down two starters. The replacements for Lee have all lost games in his absence, making him a risk to the lead.
In eight appearances, Crowe has a 5-1 record with a 3.57 ERA.
In 40⅓ innings pitched, he has one quality start (six innings of three runs or less). He had a 2.059 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 1.31 walks per nine innings pitched (WHIP). The former major leaguer was highly touted as an all-time great, but he didn’t live up to expectations.
He started the 2021 season as a starter for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but has since moved to the bullpen, appearing in just five games last year. His season was cut short due to a shoulder injury. When he joined the Kia organization, he was considered a top prospect, but he also came with an injury risk. Crowe was confident that he had resolved the shoulder issue.
However, even after the start of the season, he showed problems with his stamina, as his delivery became weak around 80 pitches. 메이저사이트 When he threw 104 pitches in six innings against the Gwangju LG on April 11, he was happy to throw 100 pitches for the first time in almost eight years. However, it seems that he hasn’t been able to overcome the strain of constant starts.
