PITTSBURGH – Jung-Ho Kang left the game with an apparent left-knee injury in the first inning this afternoon, after Cubs’ right fielder Chris Coghlan slid hard into Kang’s legs attempting to break up a double-play.
Kang was unable to put any pressure on his left leg as he was assisted off of the field by the Pirates’ training staff.
Will update as more information becomes available.
UPDATE 2:00 PM: Pirates indeed confirm that the injury was to Kang’s left-knee. He is currently being evaluated and treated and the Pirates will provide more information as it becomes available.
