SSG Landers canceled bullpen Young-gun Lee Ro-woon from the first-team entry. The housekeeping is tight, but the calculation is that I will give you enough time.

SSG canceled pitchers Lee Woon and Lee Kun-wook ahead of the match against the Doosan Bears in Incheon on the 11th, and registered infielder Jeon Eui-san and pitcher Choi Hyun-seok.

After returning to the first team on August 1, Lee Kun-wook came out of the bullpen in two games, showing signs of shaking with four runs in one ⅔ and two runs in ⅓, respectively, and has time to reorganize in the Futures League.

One of the key bullpen agents, Lee Ro-woon, is noticeable. Lee Rowoon, who is in his second year as a high school graduate, has been active as a must-win member of SSG since last year. Although there are still ups and downs in each game, Noh Kyung-eun and Noh Byung-hyun are the pitchers who play the most games, taking charge of 54 games and 50 innings in the first team this season.

However, he was not in good condition in each of the recent games he took the mound. He has struggled in four of the last five games. On July 31, he allowed four hits (one home run) while catching one out count against the Lotte Giants, and after that, he seemed to be stabilizing, but his hit rate in the last three consecutive games was close to 50%. There were not many runs themselves, and they steadily played one inning each, but many of them came out in tight situations, so Lee Woon's runs felt particularly painful.

SSG also does not have room for bullpen situations. Noh Kyung-eun, who has overcome the difficult situation, still occupies the largest proportion, while finishers Cho Byung-hyun, Moon Seung-won, Seo Jin-yong, and Han Doo-sol are struggling. Especially in the weekend series against Doosan, he has held the lead for two consecutive gamesA suffered a come-from-behind loss due to a bullpen disorder. Only one bullpen member is disappointed.

However, the more urgent it is, the more time it will be given. Coach Lee Sung-yong, who met ahead of the Doosan match on the 11th, said, `Like Ro Woon, young players have run so well throughout the first half. I think everyone is a little tired. I was hoping to overcome it a little bit, but I think these players are still too much to do. For now, I'm going to rest and give it time to recover."

With Ko Myung-joon, who was canceled due to a hamstring injury, taking more time to recover, the mountain before the first base volunteer returned. In addition, rookie Choi Hyun-seok was called up to the first team for the second time this season.

Choi Hyun-suk, a former Busan National University of Science and Technology and the 40th overall pick in the fourth round of this year's rookie draft, has been one of the most outstanding pitchers since the second-tier spring camp. It was the first call-up in May, but he played the Futures League game after failing to catch an out count against Samsung at the time and showing sluggish performance with two hits (one home run) and one walk and two runs. Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `Last time, I didn't show all my things in the first team. I'm counting on him to throw well this time."
