"I was going to send him to the real game from today. However, I decided to delay it further because I heard that there was still a (sprained) symptom."

'40% shortstop' Jeon Min-jae is playing the role of Lotte Giants' trade luck at the beginning of the season. In addition to net defense, the bat is worth seeing, as it ranks first in the entire league with a batting average of 4%.

Lotte has a 'Original Blessing' When will Son Ho-young, who ranked No. 1 in homers in his team last year (18), return. The absence of injuries seems to be longer than expected.




Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th, replied to a question about the timing of Son Ho-young's return, saying, `We delayed it a little more.'

Son Ho-young, who changed his uniform to Lotte after overcoming his long career in the second division when he was with the LG Twins, exploded his potential with the transfer. Although he did not fill the regular at-bats last year, he established himself splendidly by securing a clean-up trio with a batting average of 318 and 18 home runs and 78 RBIs with an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.896.

This year, when full-fledged performance was expected, he left due to injury two weeks after the opening. On April 3, he was diagnosed with a microsprain of the right internal abdominal muscle.




The club seems to be approaching it as carefully and conservatively as possible as it was a player who suffered many minor injuries even during the LG period. And it's been two weeks.

He will focus on recovery for another week or so and then knock on his return. If this happens, the return to the first team is expected to be at the end of April at the earliest.

Choi Jun-yong, who left due to an elbow injury just before the opening, is also likely to return in early May. Starting with half-pitching, it is a step of slowly raising one's physical condition.




Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, "(Son) Ho-young was originally going to play in the (second division) game from today, but when I examined it yesterday, he said there was still some left. So I'm going to slow it down a little bit." Then " (Choi Jun-yong) Above all, there should be no pain. So far, it's okay. It's not something to be cautious about, but it's because you have to be okay."

Veteran bullpen Koo Seung-min is knocking on his return to the first division without injury. In the match against the Goyang Heroes on the 10th and the KIA Tigers' 2nd Army on the 12th, respectively, he scored one scoreless inning to boost his condition. Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `If it's Koo Seung-min, I'll take a look at the record paper. If there is any better aspect in the second division, the report will come up. So far, there has been no particular story," he replied.

"See how many arrests have been made, but shouldn't the game be good since it's the second team?" The second-tier side will also see the appearance on the mound and the timing of the batters. If there's a lot of improvement, I'll go and think about it then."

As for Hwang Sung-bin and Reyes, who felt pain during the game earlier, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `Both of them are slightly raised (muscles), so there is no problem in playing. I'm not going to overdo it,' he added.
