LG Twins will have the best good news.
It's just around the corner that Austin Dean's return is coming. He made a hit in his first real game since his injury, raising expectations.
Austin started the Futures League game against SSG Landers at LG Champions Park in Icheon on the 2nd, scoring one hit and one run from four times at bat.
Austin started the game as the 3rd-1st baseman against the Lotte Giants in Busan on July 1st and recorded 3 hits and 2 RBIs in 4 at-bats, including a two-run home run, but left the very next day due to side pain. I didn't expect it to be a big problem, but I was diagnosed with micro-damage of my abdominal muscles as a result of the examination. It was expected to take about four weeks to return. It's been four weeks, but now we're in the real game. It took me more time to wait until Austin's condition was more perfect. As it is a really important time in the future, it was a measure to get better and come up perfectly because there should be no injuries in the future.
Austin, who had been training before, was found to be okay at the hospital on July 23, and was diagnosed with a full side muscle on the 30th. And Austin, who finished preparing for the actual game with live batting on the 1st, finally played against SSG on the 2nd.

Austin, who met SSG starter Idow in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, stepped down with a fly to center field, and only made a fly to center field in the bottom of the third inning when two runners went out.
Austin, who came out as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning and played against the opponent's second pitcher, Chun Beom-seok, and hit a right-handed hit, ended up hitting a shortstop fly in the bottom of the eighth inning against Kim Sung-min.
Austin is expected to play in the first division from the home game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 5th if there is no major problem after playing in the SSG match on the 3rd. In particular, Austin needs to quickly regain his sense of play and increase his sense of hitting in the three consecutive games during the week against Doosan, as the three consecutive weekend matches against Hanwha are scheduled from the 8th in Jamsil.
Austin batted .272 (72 for 265) with 20 homers, 55 RBIs and 52 runs scored in 75 games before being sidelined by injury. At that time, he led LG's batting by ranking second in home runs, fourth in RBIs, fourth in runs scored, and third in slugging percentage (0.543). Recently, LG has been on a winning streak, and the atmosphere is good. The team's atmosphere is getting better as the sluggish veterans are performing to bring the flow.
If Austin returns and adds to his previous performance, LG will be able to compete with Hanwha's offense even if it strengthens its offense with Son Ah-seop.
