Bae Ji-hwan is 0 for 3 in Triple-A Rehabilitation

Korean fielder Bae Ji-hwan of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), who returned from a wrist injury, has started to recover his condition by playing in a rehabilitation game.

Bae Ji-hwan played as the No. 1 hitter center fielder for the Indianapolis Indians under Pittsburgh in the minor league Triple-A game against the Iowa Cubs (under the Chicago Cubs) at Victory Field in Indianapolis, Indiana on the 22nd (Korea time) and had no hits in three at-bats.

Bae, who was exited from his team’s roster due to left hip injury ahead of the opening of the 2024 season, returned to the big league in late last month. However, he injured his right wrist again and was put on the disabled list as of Wednesday. In his first real game on the day after the injury, he grounded out two and struck out, and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the seventh inning.

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on the 22nd that Bae, who was slowly speeding up his rehabilitation after being listed on the IL, will participate in a triple-A rehabilitation game for the first time to boost his senses. Bae played in eight big league games this season and posted a batting average of 0.208 (5 hits in 24 at-bats) and five points on the base (on-base plus slugging) of 0.477.

Meanwhile, Indianapolis scored five points in the bottom of the seventh inning when it was trailing 0-2, winning 5-2. 토토사이트 추천
