When Hanwha Eagles' Moon Dong-joo returns, it is still in the fog. Moon Dong-joo has not been able to play the rotation since he took the mound against the Doosan Bears in Daejeon on the 3rd (winning one run in six innings). If he took the mound normally in the rotation order, he should have taken the mound against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 8th, but the mound failed.
This is because his condition has not fully recovered. Moon Dong-ju is feeling uncomfortable in his shoulder area. No abnormalities were found in the medical examination. However, he cannot force the player to take the mound because he feels that his shoulder is not in perfect condition. It is cautious because throwing the ball while the player himself is not sure about his shoulder could cause a big blow.
However, for Hanwha, which was in fierce competition for the ranking, Moon Dong-ju's failure to take the mound is painful. Hanwha was pushed back from sixth place to seventh place again last weekend, with only one win and two losses in three consecutive away games against LG. In particular, it was regrettable that the mound collapsed as alternative starters took the mound for two consecutive days from the 7th to the 8th.

Moon Dong-ju accompanied the first-team squad and also joined the Incheon away game on the 10th. However, the schedule for the next game has yet to be confirmed. Coach Kim Kyung-moon, who met with reporters ahead of the match against SSG Landers on the 10th, asked about Moon Dong-ju's condition, saying, `It's not that good. I wanted all of my team members to be good, but it's a bad situation. "If I don't continue to be in good condition, I might go to Daejeon and take it off (the entry)." Hanwha will play only one game on the 10th in Incheon and then move back to its home match. On the 11th, he will face the Samsung Lions in Daejeon. If Moon Dong-ju's recovery in condition continues to be delayed, he is also planning to call other pitchers out of the second division, excluding them from the first division entry.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `Every player can be sick, but the timing is a little disappointing"He could not hide his regret over the departure of key selection resources at a time when competition for rankings was fierce at the end of the season.
