Park Dongwon, why are you suddenly changing?

LG Twins' main catcher Park Dong-won played only the third inning and was suddenly replaced.

Park Dong-won started the game against Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on the 31st.




However, Park Dong-won was replaced by Lee Joo-heon ahead of the defense in the top of the fourth inning.

An LG official said, `Park Dong-won was replaced due to discomfort in his right ankle. Emergency treatment was performed through icing, and there is no plan for hospital checkups. It means it's not a big injury.

Park Dong-won sprinted in the process of hitting a double play in the second inning, and there is a possibility that his ankle was slightly strained in the process.




LG tied the game with consecutive lucky hits by Moon Bo-kyung and Oh Ji-hwan in the second inning when they were losing 0-1, but Park Dong-won hit a 5-4-3 double play and failed to turn the tables.
