Considering that no special abnormalities were found during the examination a month ago, the specialist explains that the area appears to have deteriorated acutely.

The Kiwoom team said, “Surgery is inevitable for treatment, so we will confirm the surgery schedule as soon as possible without any additional examination,” and added, “The club will not spare any support to help Ahn Woo-jin recover quickly.”

Ahn Woo-jin said through the club, "It's unfortunate that I couldn't be with the team until the end of the season, and I'm sorry to the fans.

Regardless of my personal performance, I'm sorry to everyone that the team has fallen into difficult times.

I will undergo surgery well and come back in good health."

In the postseason, he pitched 22⅔ innings and stayed on the mound for over 220 innings last year alone.

He also pitched well this season with 9 wins, 7 losses, and an ERA of 2.39 in 24 games, but was ultimately hampered by injuries.

Considering that it usually takes at least a year for a player who underwent Tommy John surgery to return, Woojin Ahn is expected to be able to return only at the end of next season at the earliest.
