The Pittsburgh club of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) announced on the 27th (Korea time) that it called up Bae Ji-hwan, who played for Triple-A in the minor league, ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks match at Phoenix Chase Field in Arizona.
“All-star outfielder Brian Reynolds has been placed on the funeral leave list, and Bae Ji-hwan will take over for a while,” the Pittsburgh-based Post Gazette said. “Reynolds can return from the game on the 29th.”
As Bae Ji-hwan’s role is a backup of Reynolds, who is out of power, there is a possibility that he will return to the minor leagues when Reynolds returns.
Bae Ji-hwan played a rehabilitation game for Triple-A Indianapolis Indians after being listed on the injured list due to a sprained right wrist on the 4th of last month, and was released from the injured list on the 25th of last month and became a minor league status.토토사이트 모음
