Former Samsung Lions pitcher David Buchanan encountered an injury while trying to re-try the big league at the Texas Rangers.
The Dallas Morning News, a U.S. media outlet, reported on the 17th (local time) that Buchanan suffered a sprained left ankle during defensive training in spring camp. Texas manager Bruce Bochy was cautious, saying his injury could be serious. The Texas club also said it expected Buchanan to be absent for at least a week.
Buchanan played for Samsung from 2020 to 2023 and established himself as a foreign pitcher representing the KBO League. During his four seasons, he played in 113 games, recording 54 wins and 28 losses with a 3.02 ERA, leaving a consistent record. In particular, he won 16 games in 2021, setting a new record for the most wins in a season for a foreign pitcher of Samsung, and became the first team to win the title of multiple wins in the club's history.
Buchanan, who failed to renew his contract with Samsung after the end of the 2023 season, signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies to return to the Major League. After being traded to the Cincinnati Reds, he was promoted to the big league in September last year, took the mound in relief against the Milwaukee Brewers, and took the mound in the big league for the first time in nine years since 2015. However, he was released one day later and became an FA again.
This year, he signed a contract with Texas that included invitations to the big league spring camp and vowed to start anew, but unexpected injuries disrupted his preparation for the season. Depending on the degree of injury, there is a greater possibility that he will be at a disadvantage in the competition for big league rosters.
Texas is a strong team that won the World Series last year, and boasts a strong performance both in starters and bullpen. Attention is focusing on whether Buchanan will overcome his injury and succeed in re-challenging in the big league. 카지노사이트
