Jung Ho Kang Reportedly Needs Wrist Surgery

According to reports coming out of South Korea, Jung Ho Kang will have wrist surgery and it will end his season. Kang was planning to play for the Bradenton Marauders back on Tuesday, but was scratched from the lineup, and now this setback will reportedly require surgery after rehab didn't work.

Due to the length of recovery time, rest and rehab was the best way to go at first because surgery back then would have also effectively ended his season. The Pittsburgh Pirates plan to provide an update later, so if anything different from this morning's report is announced, we will provide an update here.
