(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, New Taipei 14th) CPBL Wei Chuan Dragons fielder Liu Chun-wei experienced discomfort running bases in a game on the 12th. Head coach Yeh Chun-chang stated that the injury is on the "verge of a strain" and is expected to require just 3 or 4 days of rest; Giljegiljaw Kungkuan's left knee cruciate ligament tear does not affect his batting practice.
In the game between the Dragons and the Uni-President 7-ELEVEn Lions on the 12th, fielder Liu Chun-wei drew a walk in the top of the 9th inning, and then advanced on consecutive hits by teammates to score a run. He felt discomfort when sliding into home plate. Yeh Chun-chang stated before the game today that Liu Chun-wei's condition is evaluated to be on the "verge of a strain" and not particularly serious. It currently appears that resting for 3 or 4 days will be enough, and no roster moves have been made.
Giljegiljaw Kungkuan left the game early this month after feeling discomfort in his left knee while fielding a ground ball to first base. He was sent down to the minor league on the 5th. After medical examination, it was found to be a 50% to 70% tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Initially, it was estimated he would be absent for 1 to 2 months.
However, Giljegiljaw Kungkuan has now resumed batting practice. Yeh Chun-chang said that Giljegiljaw Kungkuan's injury mainly depends on whether it affects his running. He might feel his knee is a bit loose when running, but as long as it doesn't hurt, it is fine, and there is little impact on normal batting practice. (Editor: Chen Jen-hua) 1150414
