Choi’s injury was due to ‘diving’…Melvin “aggravated by subsequent swing”

Ji-Man Choi’s (San Diego Padres) injury was caused by a dive.

“He hasn’t been able to play the last couple of days,” manager Bob Melvin said of Choi on Friday, adding, “We were hoping the rib injury would respond, but it didn’t respond enough for him to play, so we had to put him on the disabled list today.”안전놀이터

“Choi’s injury started with a dive, and then it got a little worse as he was swinging during the game,” Melvin said, “He hasn’t responded well in the last couple days. It went the other way. Hopefully it won’t be a long time on the disabled list.” Choi was initially placed on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to July 13.

Choi was also placed on the 60-day disabled list with the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this season with an Achilles’ tendon injury.

After being dealt to San Diego at the trade deadline along with pitcher Rich Hill, Choi appeared in seven games in a San Diego uniform but went 0-for-11.
