Hanwha excluded Liberato from the first-team entry ahead of the home game against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th. Outfielder Choi In-ho was registered and filled in the absence of Liberato.
Liberato fell during defense against Daejeon SSG Landers on the 22nd and suffered pain in his right shoulder. After resting on the 23rd and 24th, he came back to Gocheok Kiwoom on the 26th, but failed to hit in two games. On the 27th, he was replaced by Lee Jin-young at the end of the third inning. On the 28th, he was excluded from the starting lineup again.
In the end, Liberato was excluded from the first-team entry as he was on the injured list on the 29th. The registration of the injured person was applied retroactively to the 28th.

Hanwha (70 wins, 3 draws and 48 losses), which is ranked second by 4.5 games with the leading LG Twins (75 wins, 3 draws and 44 losses), is in a position to play without foreign hitters for the time being. Captain Chae Eun-sung, who was batting hard with a batting average of 325.5 and five home runs in 31 games in the second half, also left due to injury.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `Chae Eun-sung is currently resting. Liberato feels okay, but I didn't think it was very good, so I took it out of the entry completely for now. I'm trying to give you time to get well and come back. It is expected to come when the registration date is available."
Hanwha will try to win six consecutive games with starting pitcher Hwang Jun-seo as its starting pitcher. Hanwha formed the starting lineup in the order of Lee Won-seok (center fielder), Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Lee Jin-young (right fielder), Kim Tae-yeon (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (striker), Lee Jae-won (catcher), and Hwang Young-mook (second baseman).
