Doosan announced its opening entry on the 21st and revealed why starting pitcher Kwak Bin and reliever Hong Gun-hee were excluded.
Hong Gun-hee felt pain in her right elbow during pitching training on the 16th. As a result of the examination, he was diagnosed with internal ligament damage.
Kwak Bin took the mound in the Futures League on the 19th. I felt pain in my left side during the pitch. It's a damage to the internal oblique muscles.
A Doosan official said, `Hong and Kwak are scheduled to be re-examined in early April.'
The good thing about the misfortune is that it's not a big injury right away.
The story of having a reexamination in early April means that you need about two weeks to recover.
You can take two weeks off and resume training if there is no abnormality in the test results.
It is also necessary to increase the number of pitches and acquire a sense of practice. It is possible to return to the second or third week of April at the earliest. Still, Kwak Bin is not expected to come in at least five early rotations.

Choi Won-joon was eliminated from the fifth starter even after scoring one run and an ERA of 1.29 in seven innings in two exhibition games.
However, bullpen concerns have deepened.
Doosan planned to place Choi Won-jun behind because Choi Ji-gang was not ready yet in the must-win group.
If Choi Won-joon comes in as a starter, Hong Gun-hee will also fall into the bullpen, making the depth shallow. The roles of closer Kim Taek-yeon, Lee Young-ha, Lee Byung-hun, and Kim Ho-joon are expected to become important.
