Key infielder Oh Ji-hwan was excluded from the first-team entry.
LG canceled infielders Oh Ji-hwan and Son Yong-joon at the same time on the 9th, the day of rest.
Oh Ji-hwan's body balance was shaken after being hit by an ankle pitch against Sajik Lotte on May 20. He played two hits, three runs and one RBI in three at-bats on the day, but his batting sense has dropped since then.
Since then, he has only had five hits in 15 games until the game against Kiwoom on the 8th. His batting average during that period is 0.119 and he is in a deep slump. He has a batting average of 0.063 with just one hit in six games in June. He has no hit in the last four games. Recently, he has been excluded from the starting lineup and has been substituted.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `After being hit, the step collapsed, and the overall center collapsed. I'm going to train a little bit to get the basics done,' he explained. I wanted to give him time to readjust earlier, but I couldn't take it out because of the defense.
To make matters worse, Moon Bo-kyung, the main third baseman, has been playing only as the designated hitter due to knee pain since the match against SSG in Munhak on May 24.
Koo Bon-hyuk became busy. He was playing all-weather with shortstop and third base.
An LG team official said, `There are no special opinions such as injuries on Oh Ji-hwan's cancellation. Reorganization dimension" Oh Ji-hwan, who has a batting average of .218 with six home runs and 26 RBIs in 61 games this season, will return after recovering his disorganized balance for 10 days.

As expected, the reason is the recent slump. Recently, he has not displayed stable pitching. He went down the mound without catching any outcounts in the last two consecutive games. He allowed one hit and one walk against SSG on the 3rd and two hits against NC on the 7th.
In five games since May 21, when he returned from the injured list, he gave up four hits, three walks and one out against 15 batters in two ⅓ innings, allowing one run. In other words, more than half of the batters they faced were allowed to get on base. Lim Chang-min has one win and two holds and a 5.40 ERA in 13 games this season.
Regarding Lim Chang-min's cancellation, an official from the Samsung club said, `There are no special matters such as injuries. The cancellation of the adjustment dimension..." Following Baek Jung-hyun's injury departure, veteran Lim Chang-min is also out, which is expected to increase the burden on young must-win groups such as Lee Ho-sung and Bae Chan-seung, who protect Samsung's bullpen.
On the same day, KIA outfielder Kim Seok-hwan, SSG pitcher Chung Dong-yoon, Lotte outfielder Kim Dong-hyun, infielder Lee Ho-joon and Kiwoom pitcher Lee Joon-woo were also excluded from the entry.
