After being discharged from the military, I was changing the FA landscape...Why did I miss the selection for the Hanwha match?

A small bad news occurred in KT Wiz, which was doing well. Shortstop Shim Woo-joon, who returned after being discharged from the military, felt something wrong with his body.
KT excluded Shim Woo-joon from the starting lineup for the Hanwha Eagles match at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 30th. Kim Sang-soo returned to shortstop, and Kwon Dong-jin will go as the starting second baseman.
Shim Woo-joon joined the team on the 16th after completing his military service in Sangmu. Coach Lee Kang-chul first made a warning to Shim Woo-joon that there was no main position from the beginning, but coincidentally, Oh Yoon-seok, who was good as a second baseman, was injured and forced to operate a scenario in which Shim Woo-joon was put in as a shortstop and Kim Sang-soo moved to second base.
But what's wrong with this. Shim Woo-joon played much more maturely than before he went to the military and quickly secured his position as the main shortstop. He showed stability in defense by swinging a batting average of 355 in 10 games.
Manager Lee said, `Shim Woo-joon felt an abnormality in his right hamstring during the match against the Samsung Lions on the 28th. It's not a major injury that causes a muscle tear, but it's said that it's a little lumpy. So I replaced the game in the second half. I checked before the game again today, and they said it was a little bad.
Director Lee expressed regret, saying, "(Unless it's not an injury) Is there anything I wouldn't use Shim Woo-joon now?" Since it is a hamstring problem, it may be difficult to play as a pinch runner.
Shim Woo-joon himself is not happy with the injury. After completing this season, he will become the first FA in his life. It's time for him to play one more game to increase his value, but he seems not to overdo it by watching the season for a long time. If you are seriously injured, you should take at least a month off from your hamstring. When looking at the preliminary FA list after this season, there is an evaluation that the value of shortstop Shim Woo-joon, who plays well and runs well, is increasing in the absence of large-scale resources.
