Ryu Hyun-jin started in a visiting game against the Cleveland Guardians of the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

In the game, which was his second start after returning from injury, Ryu Hyun-jin was showing off his "power" with no hits, one walk, two strikeouts, and no runs until the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs.

Then, bad luck hit the last out count in the fourth inning. Opponent hitter Oscar Gonzalez's ball hit the inside of Ryu Hyun-jin's right knee.

Ryu Hyun-jin threw a changeup outside the first pitch to Oscar Gonzalez, and Gonzalez hit the ball, but the ball headed for Ryu Hyun-jin. Before Ryu Hyun-jin took a defensive posture, the ball hit the inside of his right knee.

Ryu Hyun-jin endured the pain and caught the ball that hit his knee and rolled sideways and threw it to first base to catch Gonzalez. Since then, Ryu Hyun-jin has fallen to the ground and complained of pain for a long time, and failed to take the mound in the fifth inning.

MLB Dotcom said, "It's too cruel timing for Ryu Hyun-jin, who started for the second time after more than 13 months of recovery from elbow surgery," adding, "The Toronto club is watching Ryu Hyun-jin's injury with bated breath."

SportsNet said, "It was a hard scene to see Ryu Hyun-jin lying on the ground," adding, "It is even more painful considering that he returned to the Major League after 426 days (last week)."

Toronto also expressed regret, saying, "Ryu Hyun-jin was drawing Toronto's blueprint until he was substituted early due to serious pain."

The Blue Jays pointed out, "If the referee knew how to distinguish the ball from the strike, Ryu Hyun-jin would not have faced Gonzalez (who hit the assault ball)," targeting a walk earned by Cleveland Andres Jimenez after one out in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin said in an interview with local media after the game, "I got swollen because I got hit by the knee by the ball," adding, "It's not a problem playing or playing." 토토사이트
