Lee Jae-hee (24) of the Samsung Lions will be on the operating table.

Samsung reported Lee Jae-hee's injury and surgery ahead of the game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 29th.

Lee Jae-hee has played nine innings in 11 games this season, with two losses and four holds with a 3.00 ERA.




He has played the role of a must-winner, but his injury ended the season.

"After taking the mound against NC on the 25th, he felt an abnormality in his right elbow and was removed from the entry on the 26th," Samsung said. "After that, he was examined at two hospitals in Daegu and two in Seoul." The examination revealed that the inner ligament of the elbow was 70-80% damaged", he explained.

"Lee Jae-hee is scheduled to undergo ligament joint surgery after scheduling in the future," a Samsung official continued. "We also plan to remove bone fragments of our elbow during surgery."
