Sung-Mun Song Suffers Oblique Injury
San Diego Padres infielder Sung-Mun Song (oblique) is expected to miss four weeks while recovering from an oblique injury that he suffered during a recent batting practice session, according to Jee-ho Yoo of Yonhap News Agency. Yoo notes that Song recently visited a clinic in Yokohama, Japan, to receive extensive treatment before arriving in Arizona for his first MLB spring training. The four-week timeline indicates that Song should be ready near the start of camp. The 29-year-old inked a deal with the Padres after an impressive two-year stretch in the KBO, during which he posted a .327 batting average with 45 home runs, 194 RBI, 46 stolen bases, a 10.6% walk rate, and a 14.3% strikeout rate. Song primarily played third base with the Kiwoom Heroes, but he also earned reps at second base and first base. His versatility gives him value with the Padres, whose left side of the infield is typically patrolled by Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts. As a result, he'll likely play second base for San Diego.
