Hanwha Eagles will seek temporary replacement for Esteban Floral.

Hanwha said on the 14th "Florell will be registered as a foreign rehabilitation player with the cancellation of the first team entry on the 13th. The club is in the process of recruiting alternative foreign players. Floral was injured in the back of his right hand on Jung Hae-young's ball in the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 8th. Despite the bone-breaking injury, Floral was highly motivated to play in the first team. The reason why he continued to play as a substitute while waiting as a pinch runner agent throughout the last three consecutive games against Doosan.

However, as the six-week rehabilitation schedule came out, it was impossible to play in the first team anymore.




Hanwha excluded Floral from the first-team entry and registered the Euro decision before the match against Daejeon LG, which was canceled by rain on the 13th.

Before the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said "I made a little bet today. Slower breaking balls or throwing them lightly, but the bat comes out, and it's rumored that it hurts when you start a game, so wouldn't the opponent throw a strong ball. "If you respond to such a ball, you can get hurt more, so I took it out of the entry and made a Euro decision." He then promised to return after recovery, saying, "I've waited for three days because the team has done it for me, I'm grateful, and I'm so sincere." "I'm not completely out now, so I think I'll have another chance next time."

Hanwha, which is fighting for the lead, cannot wait a month with foreign batters empty. He quickly started looking for a substitute. It plans to minimize the floreal gap by quickly recruiting an alternative foreign hitter who can defend center field.

What if an outsider does better than Floral? Naturally, the possibility of replacement cannot be ruled out. However, this is a case in which it depends on the speed of Floral's recovery.




Head coach Kim Kyung-moon hopes Floral will return after a full recovery. Coach Kim said, `It may come out faster than the diagnosis, but I think I should watch him play when the date is certain"Recovery → It will come up through the Futures League process."
