KT removed So Hyung-joon from its first-team entry ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 20th.
KT manager Lee Kang-chul had already announced the cancellation of Cho Hyung-joon's entry on the 19th. At the time, head coach Lee said "I heard my shoulders were heavy" and was going to post "SSG match (25th), but I don't think I can do it. I think I can play one last game against NC, but I'm going to see the situation then."
Cho Hyung-joon spent this season 'Management Season'. After undergoing elbow surgery two years ago, he came to the first team in September last year and took six relief appearances.
This season, he scheduled about 140 innings and entered the season as a starting pitcher.
Cho Hyung-joon, who pitched 97 ⅓ innings in the first half, last moved to the bullpen against the Samsung Lions on August 8. After throwing two games in the bullpen, he expressed his desire to start again and took the mound as a starter in three games.

A situation where rest is inevitable due to shoulder pain. First of all, I decided to watch the situation after the first-team entry was canceled.
Currently, Cho Hyung-joon has pitched 141 ⅓ innings with nine wins. Add one win, add two ⅔, and you'll achieve a regulation innings and double-digit win after 2022.
Cho Hyung-joon, who was canceled from the first team entry on the day, can be registered in the first team on the 30th. The game on the 30th is against Changwon NC. "It's a throwable date, but I don't know what's going to happen," Lee said.
In addition to the currently scheduled games, KT has two more games left. Gwangju match, which was canceled on the 5th, or Suwon Hanwha match, which was canceled on the 19th, is scheduled to take place in October. Director Lee said "If your shoulders are okay and you say you can throw, I'm going to make you throw it."
KT met Hanwha Cody Ponce as the starting pitcher on the day and formed the starting lineup in the order of Huh Kyung-min (third baseman), Andrew Stevenson (middle fielder), Ahn Hyun-min (right fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Hwang Jae-gyun (first baseman), Jang Jin-hyuk (left fielder), Jang Joon-won (second baseman), Cho Dae-hyun (catcher), and Kwon Dong-jin (striker). KT's starting pitcher will be Ko Young-pyo.
