Eredia, you're injured too. SSG Landers, who was struck by a sudden attack, made a change in the entry.

SSG canceled foreign hitter Guillermo Herredia ahead of the game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 11th.

The SSG club said "Eredia's epidermal cyst on her right thigh has become hard and painful since yesterday. "I had a cyst removal surgery today (11th), and because the removal range was larger than expected and there was a possibility of recurrence, I needed stability until the suture site healed, so I canceled the entry."




For SSG, it is a bolt out of the blue. Heredia is currently the only batter with a batting average of .300 in the SSG lineup. Of the batters who filled the regular at-bat, only Hredia with a .313 batting average was the only .313 hitter. SSG, which has recently been suffering from a scoring drought, has been suffering from injuries to Choi Jung and Herredia, which has grown more worried.

Instead, he called up the first baseman Hyun Won-hoe, who had good performance in the Futures League.

Hyun Won-hoe, who was born in 2001 from Daegu High School, has only two first-team records. He joined as a catcher, but has changed his position to first baseman in 2024.




His Futures League performance this season was close to .500 with a batting average of .455 (20 hits in 44 at-bats) and one home run and 10 RBIs in 15 games. Manager Lee Sung-yong put Hyun Won-hoe in the starting lineup as the eighth designated hitter against KIA on the same day.

Director Lee Soo-yong called in both the hitting part and the power analysis part and carefully formed the lineup. In a situation where the main players were in poor condition, even Herredia was missing. Still, I'm trying to think as positively as possible. Players will be under more stress than anyone else. Naturally, I think the batting cycle will burst"The original committee was so good in the second division that I wanted to see how it was," he said. I think we have to keep using these players to fit our team's direction of performance and development."
