SSG Landers has another bad news. Key starter Mitch White will skip the starting rotation in the aftermath of the hit.

SSG removed pitcher White from its first-team entry ahead of the game against the Samsung Lions at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 5th. White is placed on the injured list.

White took the mound as a starting pitcher in an away game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd and was hit in the right elbow by Doosan Yang Eui-ji in the bottom of the first inning. Fortunately, he did not injure the bone or ligament area, but he bruised the muscle area.




Hospital examinations showed no abnormalities other than simple bruises. However, the pain has not completely disappeared yet. In the end, White was excluded from the first team entry on the day.

SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said, `I checked my condition continuously yesterday and today, but I still feel pain and I'm not strong. So I think I'll skip one turn to protect the player. I think I'll be fine after a break."

With White out, SSG will have a hole in its selection in two of the three consecutive games against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan this weekend.




Director Lee Soo-yong said, `I think we need to think more about it. Now, I called up one more batter (the prefectural committee) today to see who I should use. We have to think about Choi Min-joon and Song Young-jin, but neither of them has the right number of pitches to throw now. I'm going to think about it a little more."

SSG's Han Yu-sum, who recovered from the injury, was registered on the day, and Hyun Won-hoe reinforced the fielder one more time as he filled the entry without White.
