"I knew it was bad...."

Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon expressed his sorry for infielder Chae Eun-sung (35) ahead of the game against Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 26th.

Hanwha excluded Chae Eun-sung from the first-team entry on the 25th.




At the time of exclusion from the entry, Hanwha explained that "Hospital treatment due to left inner toe pain was canceled due to the need for rest for pain management."

Chae Eun-sung has a batting average of 299, 19 home runs, 80 RBIs, and an OPS (long hitting rate + on-base percentage) of 0.857 in 115 games this season. He also led his team with the most RBIs and OPS (based on the standard number of times at bat). At the same time, he dominated the team as captain.

However, it did not show 100% of the appearance due to the recent pain in the foot. Nevertheless, he played a role as the center hitter with a batting average of 3.25 and five home runs in 31 games in the second half, and hit hard with a batting average of .300 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in the last 10 games. However, in the end, as the pain intensified, he was excluded from the entry for now and decided to pay attention to recovery.

Director Kim said "I thought it was below the top of the foot, but it was near the toe. Even though the captain is sick, he said he will endure it and do it until the end. The director should have taken it out earlier I thought about it. You can think of it as if you took it out in advance"I'm going to look at the state after 10 days. First of all, we will accompany each other."

Although she was excluded from the entry, Chae Eun-sung was on the ground throughout the training session and watched her teammates train.

Chae Eun-sung was out, but for now, Luis Liberato recovered from his shoulder pain and returned. Liberato came out to center in the first inning against Daejeon SSG Landers on the 22nd and hurt his right shoulder when he fell while defending. Eventually, I took a break on the 23rd and 24th.




Manager Kim said "Fortunately, Liberato is back and the situation is better. He cut the losing streak well, but it will be September if he plays against Kiwoom this weekend and Samsung this weekend. I'll do my best."

Hanwha made the starting lineup in the order of Lee Won-seok (right wing), Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Kim Tae-yeon (first baseman), Lee Do-yoon (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker). Ryu Hyun-jin will be the starting pitcher.
