The Samsung Lions infield is on high alert. Following Ryu Ji-hyuk and Kim Young-woong, Lee Jae-hyun is also injured.

Samsung will face the KIA Tigers at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 1st. It is a day where I am worried about the aftermath of the 13-15 defeat after a 4 hours and 18 minutes of slugging the previous day.

September 1st is the first day of the expansion entry. Samsung canceled pitcher Choi Chae-heung and registered six new players, including pitcher Lee Jae-ik, Yuk Sun-yeop, catcher Kim Min-soo, infielder Yang Woo-hyun, Gong Min-gyu, and outfielder Kim Tae-hoon.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who met before the game, said, "(As a left-handed pitcher) Lee Jae-ik's ball power is better than Choi Chae-heung." It's not an injury."

He then added "I filled in the shortcomings of each of the domestic and foreign players, catcher, and pitcher"Lee Jae-hyun is also in a difficult situation to play today."

Lee Jae-hyun suffered a right wrist injury in the process of blocking Kim Ho-ryeong's stolen base along with KIA Na Sung-bum's strikeout during defense in the top of the ninth inning of the previous day. At second base, the body tagging Kim Ho-ryeong swirled and pointed his right hand to the ground, and he was injured at this time.

Coach Park Jin-man said of Lee Jae-hyun's condition, `It's not better than yesterday. I don't think I'll be able to play in today's game. You have to check for sure and look at the next situation. I'm off today, and I'm off tomorrow as well."

"I lost balance during the tag process and pointed out my right hand…I received oriental medical treatment in the morning, but I am not in good condition. I'm going to take a picture (X-ray) later as well."

As a result, Samsung entered an emergency situation in which the entire infield except for foreign batter first baseman Diaz left as Lee Jae-hyun was also excluded following Ryu Ji-hyuk and Kim Young-woong. In the game, third baseman Jeon Byung-woo, shortstop Yang Yang-geun and second baseman Ahn Joo-hyung will play. Yang Yang-geun, a former foster player from Jangan High School and Gangneung Yeongdong University, will make his debut against the leading KIA.

Coach Park Jin-man said, `It's my first appearance this season, and all three infield spots are perforated. It will be a lot of pressure, but I want to see how well Yang Yang-geun moves, and how promising he is, and he laughed, saying, "I hope you overcome it because you are a professional player."
