Samsung Lions' new slugger Kim Young-woong fell into pain just before the game.

Kim Young-woong was scheduled to start as the fourth third baseman against the KIA Tigers at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 9th.

The Samsung club excluded him from the lineup to protect the player because he still had pain in his right knee during batting practice", he explained. Samsung manager Park Jin-man said "As the ground was mellow due to local heavy rain that fell frequently in yesterday's game (against Hanwha in Daegu), I got slightly injured when sliding and left it out early, and when I checked the practice test before the game today, I excluded it because I needed management.", he explained.

Kadenas is out due to injury, and even Kang Min-ho is not playing for a break. It is a pity that Kim Young-woong is out of injury.

Park Byung-ho, who was the sixth designated hitter, will be the fourth hitter without Kim Young-woong. Jeon Byung-woo, who was the 9th first baseman, will take over as the 3rd baseman, and Lee Sung-kyu will start as the 6th first baseman.

Kim Young-woong opened his eyes to long balls this season and became the center hitter of Samsung. As of the 9th, he has the most home runs in the team, beating Koo Ja-wook (20 home runs) with 23 home runs. Kim Young-woong, who is aiming for his first 30 home runs since his debut, will take a break for a while.

It's not a serious injury, so I think it will get better if I manage it for a day or two.

Kang Min-ho was out of the lineup for a break. Lee Seung-min, who will start the day, and Lee Byung-hun, who worked with the battery a lot in the Futures League, will start as catcher No. 8.

Samsung's batting line without Kim Young-woong will target Yang Hyun-jong with Kim Ji-chan, Kim Heon-gon, Koo Ja-wook, Park Byung-ho, Lee Jae-hyun, Lee Sung-kyu, Ryu Ji-hyuk, Lee Byung-hun and Jeon Byung-woo.
