Samsung Lions foreign pitcher Denny Reyes and third baseman Kim Young-woong, who returned home early from Okinawa camp due to injuries, reportedly avoided the worst. Kim Young-woong may return to the opening game, and Reyes also believes that the timing of his return will not be too late than expected.
Reyes took the mound against Cheongbaek on the 22nd and threw two innings, then felt pain in his right foot. Immediately, he underwent a thorough MRI examination at a local hospital, and he was found to have fractured metatarsal micro-fatigue. Stress fractures caused by constant stress accumulating in bones due to excessive exercise and stimulation.
Reyes returned to Korea on the 27th and underwent a thorough examination at two hospitals in Korea on the 28th. The results were better than expected.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man met with reporters before a practice game against the LG Twins at Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 1st and said, `Reyes is not as bad as we expected. So I think the return may be a little faster." "After examination at two Korean hospitals, we found that the union was better than that diagnosed at a Japanese hospital," the Samsung team said"There is a possibility that it may be temporary pain due to increased exercise, so we will schedule training after checking the pain relief status through treatment for the next two weeks."

Kim Young-woong, who stopped training due to pain in the ribs and returned home early on the 22nd, has started technical training as his current condition has improved.
Director Park said "(Kim) Young-woong is receiving treatment well in Korea. He said that there is little pain now, so he is systematically training his skills to the pain-free stage. "I'm thinking that I can come in at the end of the trial game. I have to check my physical condition, but I'm hoping that I can come in at the opening."."
Meanwhile, Koo Ja-wook, the main hitter who was injured in the playoffs and could not play in the Korean Series, will play his first real game. Koo Ja-wook played as a designated hitter.
Coach Park was still cautious about Koo Ja-wook. Coach Park said, `Last year, not only me but also many people felt deeply about whether Koo Ja-wook played the central role of the team or not.' `Today is Koo Ja-wook's first real game, but I hope he doesn't get hurt. But I'm worried that the weather in Korea will get colder."
On this day, Samsung made up the starting lineup with Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Kim Heon-gon (left wing) and Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Diaz (first baseman), Kang Min-ho (poster), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Cha Seung-joon (third baseman), Su-ho (right wing), and Shim Jae-hoon (second baseman), with left-handed Lee Seung-hyun.
