"We were supposed to come from September..."

The head coach's sigh is likely to deepen. Lotte Giants 'Captain' Jeon Jun-woo's return to the first division is a big hit.

When Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th, asked whether Jeon Jun-woo would return to the team, he said, `In fact, the second-tier side has no time to look at it. The main thing is for Jeon Jun-woo to join quickly and play the rest of the game well.'




Then "There are no players who can dramatically come up from the second division at the moment. At best, we'll trade for about one person."

The problem is when Jeon Jun-woo returns.

Jeon Jun-woo was canceled from the first team on the 6th due to fine damage to his left hamstring. At that time, the rehabilitation and recovery period announced by the club was four weeks.

Jeon Jun-woo was accompanying the first team to deal with the team's atmosphere, which has lost 12 consecutive games, while raising his physical condition with the goal of joining the team in the first week of September.

However, recently, wrist pain has emerged. It was a chronic pain, but it is expected to take some time to adjust because it is a stage where you do not hit for a while and then start again.

Head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `I had pain before, but I dragged him well. But after taking a break, I'm trying to hit it again. "It's the stage of starting wrist treatment. My legs are much better."




This season, Jeon Jun-woo played the role of a solver along with Reyes. However, Lotte literally collapsed after Jeon Jun-woo's absence. August 7, when the 12-game losing streak began, was the day after Davison won 10 games and was released, and the day after Jeon Jun-woo left the first team due to injury.

Lotte had a team batting average (244), last place in the team OPS (0.668), and eighth place in the team's ERA (4.52) in the second half. Manager Kim Tae-hyung explained the reason why he put Kim Sang-jin and Kim Hyun-wook, pitching coach, and Lee Byung-kyu, batting coach, in the first division, saying, `It's to renew the atmosphere.'

"There are a lot of hits, but it doesn't work out well. "Fortunately, Na Seung-yup got a bit of a sense, and Ko Seung-min used to be a little pushy before, but now he's getting wrist snaps and hitting the ball is better."

In the end, Jeon Jun-woo's joining is the key. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `Originally, I decided to join from September, but it may take a little longer. We will check again soon."
