Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang will have an appeals hearing next month regarding his drunken driving conviction, according to a report.
Yonhap News in South Korea reports that Kang's hearing will be held May 25 in Seoul.
Kang received an eight-month suspended prison sentence in March for the December DUI, his third in South Korea. The sentence was suspended for two years but hurt his chances of getting a work visa to play in the majors. He remains in South Korea after being expected as part of the Pirates' Opening Day roster.
