Lee Seung-hyun (22), the left-hander's fifth starter, left due to hamstring damage. At least a month's absence is inevitable. It is expected to be a negative factor in the last-minute ranking fight of the most important regular season.
Lee Seung-hyun was excluded from the entry on the 12th, the day of rest.

Originally, Lee Seung-hyun was scheduled to start the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 11th. As the game was canceled due to a sudden downpour on the 10th, a problem occurred during light training to maintain condition on the 11th.
Lee Seung-hyun, who started this season, continued to keep the rotation and contributed to the team's leap to the top. Since joining the first team on April 18, he has never missed out on the entry for 116 days until August 11.
He is 6-4 with a 4.23 ERA in 87 ⅓ innings in 17 games this season. There were five quality starts.
Although it was his first starting season, he continued to keep the rotation without skipping, but his tired physical condition in the heat wave eventually caused a problem. Samsung, which has recently had difficulties in the bullpen, has maintained its top position thanks to its consistently holding out starters.
Two foreign pitchers, Connor and Reyes, shook their ups and downs at the beginning of the season and were reborn as innings. Veteran left-hander Baek Jung-hyun was supporting while native ace Won Tae-in held on. Among them, Lee Seung-hyun was the left-hander of Young-gun, who played a great role as the fifth starter.

Fortunately, foreign pitcher Denny Reyes' ankle injury is minor.
Reyes caused concern when he sprained his ankle while pitching against the lead Kim Do-young in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 4-3 lead against KIA in Gwangju on the 11th. However, as a result of the inspection on the 12th, the next day, it is known that it is not enough to interfere with the next game.
Reyes, who laid the groundwork for a 5-4 victory with seven hits and three runs in five innings, has 9-4 losses, a 3.75 ERA and 11 quality starts in 23 games this season.
