Dropped to No. 6 after losing last six in a row
10-12 weeks of rehab for right hamstring injury

The Kia Tigers, who have recently lost six straight games and are facing an uncertain future in fall baseball, 카지노사이트  have been hit with a major setback in the form of an injury to their top hitter, Na Sung-bum.

"Na Sung-bum was diagnosed with a right hamstring injury after undergoing a medical examination at two hospitals today," the KIA team said on Oct. 20, adding that rehabilitation is expected to take 10 to 12 weeks.

The regular season is expected to end in mid-October, 온라인카지노  so he is effectively out for the season.

Na suffered the thigh injury while running from second to third base in the bottom of the eighth inning of a home game against the LG Twins at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on Sept. 19.

Na had a slow start to the season. Diagnosed with a left calf muscle injury just before the start of the season, he didn't make the first team until June 23.

Since joining the first team, Na has been a consistent hitter. In 58 games, he hit .365 with 18 home runs, 57 RBIs, and a 1.098 OPS.

However, another injury setback ended their season prematurely.

After jumping as high as fourth place in August, Kia's recent six-game losing streak has pushed them back down to sixth place.

Just one game behind fifth-place SSG Landers for the final spot in the postseason, KIA has a long way to go to punch its ticket to fall baseball, but the loss of Na Sung-bum could prove difficult. 카지노사이트존
