Yasiel Puig shares big news about his playing career

Former MLB slugger Yasiel Puig announced this week that his second stint in the KBO League has come to an end.

In a social media post on Monday, Puig said he has decided to leave the Kiwoom Heroes to return home to Los Angeles because of a shoulder injury. He said he expects to make a full recovery and teased that the next step in his career will be “the biggest so far.”

“After a few weeks of trying to fully recover from my shoulder injury, I have decided to go back home to Los Angeles to obtain the necessary treatment that my body requires. I am told I can expect a full recovery if I take this route,” Puig wrote on X. “I want to thank my Heroes team for fully supporting me in this transition as I keep aiming to achieve my goal in my baseball career. Although I will not be returning to Kiwoom this year, my heart is with my Kiwoom teammates and fans, I have grown to love and admire you all so much. Thank you for the opportunity. …The next step is the biggest so far. I can’t wait to share it with all of you.”
