Yasiel Puig has not played in six consecutive games since he felt bile symptoms ahead of the KT Wiz match on the 11th. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, `You don't have to overdo it. be in tune with the opening game", he explained.




As Song Sung-moon moved to second base this season, rookie infielder Yeo Dong-wook took over the empty third base. In the previous day's game, he fell to the third base dugout and intensively caught a foul ball, drawing applause. Kim Tae-jin will be the main shortstop. The last concern is whether to use Puig, who will enter the outfield where Park Joo-hong played, and Jeon Tae-hyun, who has a good hitting, although the defense is unfortunate.

Coach Hong Won-ki said, `Yeo Dong-wook's defense was surprised. I'm glad I didn't get hurt. It is worth evaluating with high concentration and judgment."
