The Lotte Giants' home turf is on alert. Son Sung-bin, who has been the main catcher since Yoo Kang-nam, who was out for the season due to a knee injury, also faced injury.
Lotte is currently trailing fifth-ranked Doosan Bears by three games. Of the remaining 15 games, one and all are precious.
However, there was another power disruption. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 12th, said, `Son Sung-bin is now unable to hit due to a wrist injury.'
Lotte's Yoo Kang-nam left earlier due to injury, and Information Geun was canceled from the first-team entry on the 5th. Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, "(First of all, Son Seong-bin) is a season out (for hitting). Sungbin will be excluded if Information Geun returns after filling the date."

Son Sung-bin complained of wrist pain for the first time during batting practice ahead of the Jamsil LG match on the 10th. Therefore, Lotte used Seo Dong-wook as the starting catcher and Kang Tae-yul as a substitute on that day.
In addition, a detailed examination conducted at Cheongdam Leone Orthopedic Clinic on the 11th revealed that there was damage to the membrane surrounding Son's wrist. A Lotte official said, `We are setting the schedule at the end of the regular season. Measures closer to procedures than surgery are explained.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung was the best defensive catcher during his active days. Therefore, in addition to blocking and throwing, the evaluation criteria for catcher's defensive power are different from basic catching.
However, following Yoo Kang-nam, Son Seong-bin faced the reality of falling out. It is another bad news for Lotte, which is running toward autumn baseball. Even if he makes it to the postseason, it seems unlikely that Son will play. Information root, Kang Tae-yul, and Seo Dong-wook are in a position to run the main room.
