The game between KT and Hanwha at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 5th, and Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin, with two outs in the top of the 4th inning, is being replaced by complaining of physical abnormalities ahead of KT Ahn Hyun-min's at-bat. Daejeon = Reporter's book@sportschosun.com/2025.06.05/
"I think it's better to take a break now."

Hanwha Eagles left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin unexpectedly faced a break. He started against KT Wiz in Daejeon on the 5th and voluntarily left the mound after recording eight hits (one homer) with two outs and four runs in three ⅔ innings. The number of pitches could have been thrown more than 71, but the left adductor muscle (groin muscle) was strained. Ryu Hyun-jin himself sent a signal to the bench as soon as he felt uncomfortable.

Ryu Hyun-jin received a hospital examination on the 6th and heard that the left adductor muscle injury was not severe, but that he needed rest. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon canceled Ryu Hyun-jin from the first-team entry and adjusted him to rebuild his physical condition by skipping the starting rotation about two times.




Ryu Hyun-jin has suffered several left adductor injuries when playing in the U.S. Major League Baseball. He left three times due to left adductor injuries during his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers in April 2016, May 2018, and April 2019. As it is an injury part that has suffered in the past, manager Kim considered Ryu Hyun-jin to get enough rest now from a long-term perspective.

Before the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 6th, head coach Kim said, `I think I need to rest a little. It's not that bad. Fortunately, it's not this kind of injury at the end of the first half, but because I had an injury history in the past. I thought it would be better to take a break for now. In a little while, there will be an All-Star break. I think I'll have to go back well until then" he said.

Hanwha is building the best starting lineup in the league. First of all, Cody Ponce-Ryan Weiss one-two punch is so solid that there is no worry. It is true that the domestic starters have become somewhat loose as Ryu Hyun-jin is out. Um Sang-baek and Hwang Jun-seo still have ups and downs. Hanwha, which is engaged in a fierce starting battle, has no choice but to catch the game in which a foreign one-two punch has taken the mound.

If Moon Dong-joo, who is currently spending time reorganizing in the second division, can join quickly, it is a better situation for the team. Moon was 5-2 with 51 ⅓ innings and a 3.68 ERA in 10 games before going down to the second division.

Coach Kim said it is still difficult to confirm when Moon Dong-ju will join.

Coach Kim said, "(Moon) Dong-ju is good now, but he can call him when he says he is (ready). The director can't talk about the call-up date first. The condition is said to be improving. He said he liked it, so I'll talk to the coach when he's fully recovered."




Cho Dong-wook will take over Ryu Hyun-jin's vacancy immediately. Cho Dong-wook pitched in 27 games this season with one save, three holds, 24 ⅓ innings and an ERA of 3.70. He only took the mound as a relief pitcher this year, but he got a chance as a starting pitcher last year, so he is expected to do well as an alternative starting pitcher.

The Hanwha-NC match held at Changwon NC Park on the 31st. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Kim Seo-hyun took the mound at the batter's box with two outs and third base, but when his control was not good, manager Kim Kyung-moon is calling catcher Choi Jae-hoon.
