Suffers ligament tear to ankle
The Heroes announced Tuesday that Jo will be sidelined for at least three months after suffering a ligament tear to his left ankle during a fielding drill last week, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old Jo was arguably the KBO's top closer in 2020, leading the league with 33 saves while recording a 2.15 ERA to go with 64 strikeouts over 54.1 innings. With the KBO regular season set to begin April 3, Jo can be expected to miss at least the first month and a half of competition while he recovers from the severe sprain. Kiwoom manager Won-Ki Hong said Tuesday that he believes he has a good collection of relievers to turn to for save situations in the interim, though he didn't identify a replacement for the injured closer.
