SSG Landers, who are in the middle of a crazy ranking fight, was caught off guard. Korean ace Kim Kwang-hyun left due to an injury.

SSG will face the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th. The SSG club announced the cancellation of Kim Kwang-hyun's first team before the game.

Kim Kwang-hyun started against the Samsung Lions the previous day, but was replaced after sluggish performance with six runs in three ⅔ innings.

However, after the game, Kim Kwang-hyun complained of pain in his left shoulder, and after a thorough hospital examination that day, he was found to be inflamed.

In the end, SSG decided to cancel Kim Kwang-hyun from the first team and adjust the return schedule after a re-examination on the 12th.

SSG registered Jeong Dong-yoon in the first team instead of Kim Kwang-hyun. SSG, which has been suffering from injuries to Choi Jung and Herredia and other players throughout the year, starting with Mitch White before the season, seems to have been struck at the end of the season and at the most important moment of the ranking competition.

On this day, SSG will play in the lineup of Park Sung-han (striker), Eredia (left wing), Choi Jung (designated hitter), Han Yu-sum (right wing), Hyun Won-hoe (first base), Ahn Sang-hyun (third base), Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Lee Ji-young (posoo) and Jung Joon-jae (second base).

SSG was on the brink of a five-way battle in fifth place until the previous day. It is five games away from third-place Lotte, but it is fifth place without a gap with fourth-place KIA. However, he is also in fifth place, a close gap of two and a half games with the eighth-place NC Dinos.
