In the end, Ko Seung-min is out.

Lotte Giants lowered Ko Seung-min and Yoon Sung-bin to the second division and called up Song Jae-young and Lee Tae-kyung to the first division ahead of the home game against the LG Twins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 2nd.

Ko Seung-min, who was replaced the previous day due to discomfort in his side during the game, was eventually diagnosed with internal abdominal muscle damage as a result of hospital diagnosis. Lotte said it needs about two weeks of recovery.




Ko Seung-min had two hits and one RBI in three at-bats, including a timely RBI in the bottom of the third inning with two outs and runners on first and second bases in the home game against the LG Twins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 1st.

However, after being out on a fly to right field in the bottom of the sixth inning, he was replaced by Kim Min-sung in the top of the seventh inning. At that time, the club replaced Ko Seung-min for protection because he had discomfort on his right side. Ice packs are in progress, and we will watch the progress." The next day, on the 2nd, he was examined at a good three-line hospital and was found to have damage to his right internal abdominal muscles.

Ko Seung-min, who had a batting average of .38 (481 at-bats) with 14 homers and 87 RBIs last year, has already been injured once. He started the season late because he injured his left ankle in a spring camp practice game. This season, he has a batting average of 299 (82 hits in 274 at-bats) with two home runs, 30 RBIs, and 42 runs in 71 games.

As soon as outfielder Jang Doo-sung, who had taken a break after being hit in the side by the check ball the previous day, returned to the first team, he was injured again as he was left. The injury prevented him from playing in the All-Star Game.

Putting Yoon Sung-bin down and Song Jae-young up seems to reinforce the left-handed bullpen.

On this day, Lotte formed the starting lineup of Jang Doo-sung (center fielder), Park Chan-hyung (second baseman), Reyes (left fielder), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Jeon Min-jae (striker), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Park Seung-wook (third baseman), and Kim Dong-hyuk (right fielder).




Lotte's starting pitcher is Alec Gamboa. He is a fastball left-handed pitcher brought in after breaking up with Charlie Barnes and has won five consecutive games since losing his first game. The game against LG is his first appearance.

He sprays nearly 60% of his average fastball of 151.1km and throws sliders, curves, and changeups, but his fastball pitching is very good.

The hit rate is 182% for left-handed hitters and 220% for right-handed hitters, which is stronger for left-handed hitters, making them expect good pitching even against LG, which has many left-handed hitters.
