The LG Twins, who are busy going, have a bad injury.
Austin Dean, a foreign hitter who shot the final two-run shot the previous day, was out of the lineup due to side pain.
In an away game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 2nd, LG's starting lineup consisted of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Moon Sung-joo (left fielder), Moon Bo-kyung (3rd baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Kim Joo-sung (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (right fielder) and Choi Won-young (middle fielder).
Austin fired the winning two-run shot from opposing starter Davison in the top of the third inning of the previous day. And he played defense in the bottom of the ninth inning without any problems.
But I felt pain when I came out to the ground on this day. Austin is always the first to train batting, but on this day, when players warm up, he came out with the bat first and started tossing. However, he played a little bit and soon stopped training.
Head training coach Kim Yong-il reported to head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, and Austin immediately moved to a nearby hospital for a checkup.

Austin's side pain cannot be taken lightly because Lotte Ko Seung-min was diagnosed with internal abdominal muscle damage at a hospital examination after being replaced by side pain the previous day.
If Austin is away for a long time, LG's offense will inevitably suffer a big blow.
Austin had a batting average of 272 (72 hits in 265 at-bats) of 120 home runs, 55 RBIs and 52 runs in 75 games until the previous day. He is leading LG's offense by ranking second overall in home runs, fourth in RBIs, fourth in runs scored, and third in slugging percentage (0.543). It is a right-handed slugger that is essential for LG's lineup, which has many left-handed batters.
Because of Austin's two-run home run the previous day, Lotte was able to stay in second place by beating Lotte's chase and winning 3-2.
Kim Joo-sung was put in the first baseman position without Austin, and Choi Won-young played instead of Park Hae-min in preparation for the opponent's left-handed starter Alec Gamboa, and Song Chan-ui stepped up as a right fielder.
