LG excluded pitcher Son Joo-young from the first-team entry and registered rookie catcher Lee Han-rim ahead of the home game against SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 11th.
Son Joo-young is just a simple rest. Son Joo-young took the mound against Jamsil SSG on the 10th, a day before, and became a losing pitcher with 10 hits, two strikeouts, two walks, and five runs (four earned runs) in four ⅔ innings.
The last two consecutive games have not been good. Son Joo-young, who won five and six games this season by pitching seven innings of one run in two consecutive games against SSG and Hanwha Eagles at the end of May, had the opposite result in the two games played in June.
On the 4th, he became a losing pitcher against the NC Dinos with nine hits (one home run) in five innings with three strikeouts, two walks, and four runs with one out, and he also lost against SSG by allowing a run from the first inning. Son Joo-young, who continued to pitch again after taping, was injured in the ankle area by a batter during pitching in the top of the first inning.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met with reporters ahead of the SSG match on the 11th, said, `It doesn't matter if I hit the ball. I didn't lose it because I was sick, but it was canceled as a rest. "There is a rain forecast on Saturday, this weekend, and even if it doesn't rain, the next day is Sunday, so a bullpen day will be possible." "I think it would be much better to give a break in advance when it's bad rather than dragging it a little more."
Park Dong-won, the main catcher, was also given a break on the day. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Dongwon has a bad ankle. So I excluded it", he explained. Lee Joo-heon was listed in the starting lineup as the starting catcher for LG, and Lee Han-rim, a high school graduate rookie catcher from Jeonju High School, was registered in the first team entry for the first time since his professional debut.
