It's a relief that the season is not out, but the return schedule has been advanced. He is expected to play his return match as early as next weekend. This is good news for Samsung, which is struggling in the summer to re-enter the fall baseball league.

Samsung Lions left-hander Lee Seung-hyun is stepping up his return.

Lee Seung-hyun, who was diagnosed with a fatigue fracture in his left elbow during the All-Star break, welcomed the season at a recent re-examination. Diagnosed ligament inflammation, not fracture. This season's return is possible.




Since there is no pain, he is speeding up his return.

Prior to the KT match at KT Wiz Park on the 27th, Samsung manager Park Jin-man said "Seung-hyun played catch today and said he had no pain, so he can throw it properly around next Tuesday and play ballpoint pen pitching on Wednesday.", he predicted. "It's just inflammation, so as long as it doesn't hurt, there's no problem throwing it."Coach Park, who welcomed ", cautiously predicted that he could take the mound as early as the end of next week if there is no pain because he has been off for almost two weeks.'

Lee Seung-hyun is 4-7 with a 4.72 ERA in 16 games this season. He raised expectations with good pitching at the end of the first half. In particular, against LG on the 4th, he won his fourth victory of the season with one hit (homer) in eight ⅓ innings, two walks, six strikeouts, and one run.

As Lee Seung-hyun's return becomes visible, changes are also detected in Samsung's starting plan.

Samsung initially selected right-hander Yang Chang-seop as a substitute for Lee Seung-hyun. Yang Chang-seop became a losing pitcher against Suwon KT on the 25th with four hits, four outs, five runs with three strikeouts and six runs (three earned runs) in five innings of his start.

The defense's misplay in the first inning, which allowed four runs, was disappointing. From the 2nd to the 4th innings, he blocked it without allowing a run amid aggressive pitching.

Manager Park Jin-man said "The next starting pitcher has not been decided yetThe next order is Thursday (31st), and Lee Seung-hyun plans to decide the starting pitcher on Thursday after examining how he will consume the bullpen in Tuesday and Wednesday games. The candidates are all except the must-win group. It's not a long inning, but we're planning a bullpen day that goes out first and stops short innings.'
