Samsung Lions in crisis. To make matters worse. Even the main shortstop Lee Jae-hyun was absent.

The pain in the left ankle, which was injured when he stepped on the ball in Game 4 of the Jamsil Playoff on the 19th, worsened.

Lee Jae-hyun started as the eighth shortstop in Game 2 of the Korean Series against KIA at Gwangju Champions Field on the 23rd.



First at-bat in the second inning. Lee Jae-hyun, who was facing starter Yang Hyun-jong with two outs and second base, grimaced with pain after hitting a foul ball on the second pitch.

The trainer came out to check the condition. He continued his batting, but he struck out swinging on a changeup.



He was immediately replaced by Jeon Byung-woo during the defense in the bottom of the second inning. Jeon Byung-woo moved to third base and Kim Young-woong to shortstop.

Lee Jae-hyun was injured after stepping on the ball while preparing for the playoffs on the 19th.

He was almost excluded from the selection, but he showed his willingness to play extremely after practice batting and played as he was.



While Samsung coach Park Jin-man was explaining the exclusion of Lee Jae-hyun's selection in a preliminary briefing, there was a happening that he hurriedly revised to play again with the contact of the trainer.

However, he started the Korean Series with the aftermath of stepping on the ball.

In the previous suspended game, the pain worsened by moving actively, such as playing a running throw.

I'm concerned if I can make a normal play over the airlift for the rest of the series.

"Lee Jae-hyun complained of pain in his left ankle and was replaced to protect the player," the Samsung club said. We are currently undergoing icing treatment, and there are no separate hospital treatment plans.'
