The KBO League KT Wiz and LG Twins match at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 12th. LG center fielder Park Hae-min, who threw himself to catch KT Oh Yoon-seok's ball with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, is being replaced after being injured in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Thanks to this, he took two days off, but Park Hae-min was excluded from the starting lineup again today.

In an away game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers in Incheon on the 15th, the LG Twins consisted of Shin Min-jae (designated hitter), Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman), Lee Joo-heon (catcher), and Choi Won-young (middle fielder).

Park Hae-min, who injured his left ankle while landing while making a jump catch against KT on the 12th, was also absent from the starting lineup on the same day.

Park Hae-min injured his left ankle in the bottom of the eighth inning when he jumped to catch Oh Yoon-seok's big hit in the middle of the defense, but failed to catch it and fell. After landing, he couldn't get back up and sat on the ground. Park Hae-min, who limped out on foot with the trainer's help, eventually got on his back and returned to the dugout to relieve his worries.

And he was out of the lineup on the 13th. At that time, LG's team said "It is partially damaged in the inner triangular ligament of the left ankle. The player himself is determined to playLG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I feel uncomfortable in the front of my left ankle." It is said that he can tap and go out. They say today is much better than yesterday, but I think I can play about three or four games as a substitute. I think I need to manage it this week. You can go out when you're in a bad way and become chronic for no reason."

Fortunately, Park Hae-min gained time to recover as the games were canceled due to rain and ground conditions on the 13th and 14th, but he still seems to need time to start.

Park Hae-min has continued to play 555 consecutive games from the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on October 13, 2021, when he was with the Samsung Lions, to the match against KT on the 12th, so he can continue his record of consecutive games only if he plays as a pinch hitter on the day.

The starting pitcher for LG on the day is Yoni Chirinos. He has 10 wins, 4 losses and an ERA of 3.44 in 22 games, and is on the rise with three wins, no losses and an ERA of 2.55 in four games in the second half. In the game against SSG, he pitched in three games, with two wins, no losses and a 4.42 ERA.

On April 18, he became the winning pitcher with three hits, two walks, seven strikeouts and one run in seven innings in Incheon, and on May 24, he allowed seven hits (two home runs) with one walk and five strikeouts in five ⅔ innings in Incheon. At Jamsil Stadium on June 12, he became the winning pitcher with nine hits, two walks and five shots in five ⅔ innings.
