US media EPSN reported on the 23rd (local time), “The Pittsburgh Pirates called Maggie to fill the void left by only Choi, who was on the 60th day on the injured list.”
“I always believed this moment would come,” Maggie said. Crazy things happen in baseball. So I am very grateful to be here and to be able to enjoy this.”안전놀이터
“It was a special 24 hours. I am very grateful to Pittsburgh for calling me up. It was a dream come true,” he added.
Maggie was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 15th round of the 2010 draft. He has not experienced the major leagues in more than 10 years, and he was promoted to the big leagues in 2021 with the Minnesota Twins, but he did not play in the game.
Meanwhile, Choi Ji-man felt pain in his left ankle while running to first base after hitting a grounder against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 13th. The next day, he was included in the starting lineup against St. Louis, but missed due to a recurrence of pain during practice and was registered on the 10th on the injured list on the 16th.
