"I don't think it'll be that long."

Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon predicted that starting pitcher Moon Dong-ju's cancellation of the first team was due to fatigue, not other reasons, and that he would return in a short time.

Hanwha canceled Moon Dong-ju from the first team on the 26th and called Won Jong-hyuk to the first team on the 27th.

Moon Dong-ju was 5-2 with a 3.68 ERA in 10 starts this season. However, he allowed seven hits, three walks, five strikeouts and six runs during four ⅔ innings against the Lotte Giants in Daejeon on the 25th. Moon Dong-ju, who threw well without losing a point until the fourth inning, was able to meet the requirements for a winning pitcher if he stopped well until the fifth inning with a 6-0 lead, but was replaced after allowing a tie. The coaching staff, who judged that his fatigue had accumulated, gave him a break.

Ahead of the away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 27th, head coach Kim said of Moon Dong-ju "He pitched well in Ulsan (six innings, four hits and no runs against NC) and became a winning pitcher, but he felt tired at that time, too." In the meantime, he explained the reason for canceling Moon Dong-ju, saying, "When I saw him throw the fifth inning, I thought I wanted him and I should give the team a break."

Coach Kim continued "From now on, we need to see Dong-ju's condition and feel the sense of the game, so I think he'll throw in the second division and join when he's okay."I don't think it'll be that long."

Um Sang-baek, who went down to the second division against the Changwon NC Dinos on the 31st when Moon Dong-ju was absent in the rotation, will take charge. Coach Kim said, `Um Sang-baek threw more than 40 pitches in the second division today (27th) and will join the first division in the evening.'

Um Sang-baek, who came to Hanwha for a total of 7.8 billion won for four years this season, started as a fourth starter, but started eight games and was sluggish with one win, four losses and an ERA of 6.68. In the end, he became a losing pitcher with five runs in two innings against Doosan on the 15th and went down to the second division. It wasn't that good in the Futures League either. In three ⅔ innings on the 21st, he allowed six hits (one home run), one walk, four strikeouts, and two runs, and in his second Futures League appearance against the Kiwoom Heroes, he allowed four hits (one home run) and three runs in three innings. Um Sang-baek, who hit a first-pitch home run in the bottom of the first inning, then allowed one hit and no run until the third inning, but he also got up in the bottom of the fourth inning, got two consecutive hits and came down from 46 pitches, and Um Sang-baek's run became three points as the follow-up pitcher allowed all the leading runners to score. Um Sang-baek's Futures League performance is 6.75 ERA with five runs in six ⅔ innings in two games. After three days off, the team will play its return match.
