7 billion FA Choi Won-tae was canceled from the first team.

The Samsung Lions canceled Choi Won-tae, who started in the second game of the doubleheader the day before on the 18th, but was replaced in three innings as a manager. Instead, Kim Ji-chan, who returned from a hamstring injury, was registered in the first team.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who met him before the game, said "It has an effect on throwing a strong ball directly to his right arm. The ball marks are still there. " Fortunately, there is no abnormality in the bone and it is bruised. Still, I don't think I can move at all for two to three days. He explained, "I decided to take a break from the starting rotation once."




"I'm thinking about replacing Hwang Dong-jae for now, but I'll think about it more because I still have time."," he added.

Director Park Jin-man, who had repeatedly agonized over Kim Ji-chan's registration for the first team. However, the second-tier game was repeatedly canceled due to rain, or Kim Ji-chan had to play as a designated hitter instead of defense.

Eventually, he will be in the first team, but instead of starting, he will play two to three innings as a substitute or a logarithmic ratio. Coach Park Jin-man said, `In fact, if I had already defended, I would have started today.' `I think I still need to manage a little bit. He's a player who comes to the hamstring once every year, and he's a player who runs around so much."




Kang Min-ho, the main catcher and 40-year-old veteran, was also injured the previous day. At the end of the eighth inning of the first game the previous day, he suffered a twisted knee and complained of pain.

As soon as he replaced the catcher, he allowed Reyes to make a come-from-behind final hit, and Samsung, which also lost the second game, has no choice but to feel even more heartbroken.

Regarding Kang Min-ho's condition, the Samsung club complained of pain caused by left knee distortion during the defense process. Hospital examination revealed knee inflammation and was treated with injections," he said.




Coach Park Jin-man said, `Kang Min-ho is difficult to play today. I will check the progress by tomorrow and decide whether I will play on Tuesday. First of all, I'm glad it's not a very serious situation,' he said, adding that there are many sit-down situations because it's a catcher, and I think we should watch it because the injury is a knee area" he said.
