Roh Si-hwan of Hanwha Eagles, who hit 18 home runs in the first half of this year alone, was out due to injury.

Noh was excluded from the first team entry on the 7th. It was scheduled due to the absence of the All-Star Game the day before, but it was officially confirmed through the exclusion of the entry.

Noh also participated in the home run derby held two days ago right after the Futures All-Star Game. The home run derby involved eight players selected through fan voting. Austin Dean and Jonathan Peraza clashed in the final, and Austin won the championship.

However, there have been signs of abnormality since then. Roh Si-hwan didn't hit a single homer in the home run derby. Before and after the home run challenge, he continued to touch his shoulder and seemed to feel pain. There was also a scene where senior Ryu Hyun-jin, who encountered Noh Si-hwan's concerns, criticized him.

In the end, this led to injuries. On the morning of the 6th, the day of the All-Star Game, Noh complained of discomfort in his left shoulder immediately after waking up. Eventually, he moved to Cheongju for Jeongmin's check-up and was canceled from the first-team entry.

This year, Noh Si-hwan has played in 82 games with a batting average of 267, 18 homers and 60 RBIs, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.805. Hanwha registered veteran outfielder Kim Kang-min in the first division instead of Noh Si-hwan.

Along with Noh Si-hwan, Hanwha's head coach Chung Kyung-bae and pitcher coach Park Seung-min were also canceled from the first team prior to the appointment of head coach Yang Seung-kwan and pitcher coach Yang Sang-moon in the second half of the year. Head coach Chung Kyung-bae will be in charge of batting and pitcher coach Park Seung-min will be in charge of pitching coordinator.

The Doosan Bears removed veteran Kim Jae-ho from the first-team entry.

As previously announced, the Samsung Lions also officially made changes to the coaching staff. Head coach Lee Byung-kyu, pitching coach Chung Min-tae, bullpen coach Kwon Oh-joon and battery coach Lee Jung-sik were canceled from the first team. Head coach Lee Byung-kyu will be in charge of the Futures team, coach Jung Min-tae and coach Lee Jung-sik will be in charge of the Futures team, and coach Kwon Oh-joon will be in charge of the rehabilitation team.

Instead, second-tier coach Chung Dae-hyun will be the head and pitching coach in the first team, while Tachibana, the third-tier batting coach, Kang Young-sik, and Coporal Chae, the battery coach, were registered in the first team.
