Samsung Lions infielder Kim Young-woong was excluded from the starting lineup due to discomfort in his calf.

Samsung made some changes to its first-team entry ahead of the home game against SSG Landers at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd. Pitcher Won Tae-in, who was scheduled to start the day, was registered, and infielder Lee Hae-seung was registered. Yang Hyun and Lee Chang-yong headed to the second division.

Lee Hae-seung's registration is due to Kim Young-woong's calf condition. Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who met with reporters before the game, said, `Kim Young-woong is a little uncomfortable with the (left) calf now. So I called up to reinforce one on the infield side."




Kim Young-woong hit a solo home run against Kiwoom starter Raul Alcantara in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Kiwoom Heroes in Daegu on the 20th. It is his ninth home run of the season and the first cannon in nearly two months since he hit his eighth home run against the KIA Tigers on May 23.

He was reborn as a key hitter for Samsung last year with 28 home runs, but he is experiencing some ups and downs in hitting this season. While the long-range cool long balls were not often hit, a pleasant home run was hit at the first start of the second half. On this day, Samsung had seven home run parties, including Kim Young-woong.

However, while hitting a home run and going around the ground, Kim Young-woong felt tight in his left calf. Manager Park Jin-man joked, `I don't know if it was because I felt good because I hit a home run in such a long time, or if I played with all my might.' Fortunately, it's not a big deal. I'm trying to wait and see until tomorrow. I'm thinking about hitting a substitute, but if Hero falls out (of the entry) too much, it will affect the lineup, so I think I'll play tomorrow if it's okay," he added.
