Rain is becoming an obstacle to LG Twins players' return to the first division.
As LG's Futures League game was canceled due to rain on the 9th, Oh Ji-hwan's return was also delayed by a day. LG was scheduled to play the second-tier game in Seosan against the Dacho Hanwha Eagles, and Oh Ji-hwan decided to play shortstop in this game. However, it was canceled due to rain.
Originally, Oh Ji-hwan planned to return to the match against the KIA Tigers in Jamsil on the 10th after confirming that he was normal by playing in the second-tier game and defending.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Ji-hwan has decided to defend (in the second division) and come up.' `I think he will have to play in the second division tomorrow and come up to the first division the day after tomorrow (11th)." If the game is also canceled on the 10th, Oh Ji-hwan's return will be delayed by another day.
The return of Park Myung-geun, a sidearm bullpen pitcher, will also be delayed. Park Myung-geun was originally scheduled to take the mound in the Futures League. He plans to come to the first team after throwing two or three games.
Park Myung-geun was excluded from the first-team entry on June 5 after a close examination revealed damage to his forearm (a fan-shaped muscle attached to his shoulder and ribs) after he stopped playing due to symptoms of shoulder bile in early June. He said he needed about three weeks to recover, and now he is preparing to return to the first team through actual pitching.
The return of starter Choi Won-tae will proceed without any problems. In the Futures League game against the Goyang Heroes on the 4th, he was ready to return with three hits and two strikeouts in three innings. He plans to take the mound as his fourth pitcher and will take the mound against the Hanwha Eagles over the weekend.
Even if an injured player returns, the return of the main players will also be delayed if the Futures League game is delayed due to the rainy season, as they have to improve their sense of practice and check their injuries in the Futures League. In a situation where one game is urgent, the cancellation of the Futures League is inevitable.
