KT Wiz third baseman Huh Kyung-min (36) is ready to return.

KT manager Lee Kang-chul said ahead of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season Doosan Bears at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 10th, "Huh Kyung-min will join tomorrow (11th). Yesterday (9th), I did live batting during the day today. I think I can go out from tomorrow because the injured list is retroactively applied," he said.

Heo Kyung-min was hit in the head by Um Sang-baek's 146km/h fastball in the top of the fifth inning against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on March 31. Two CTs and one MRI were taken and found to be fine.

However, the player continued to complain of dizziness and headache and eventually took a full rest for 10 days. Fortunately, it has improved enough to train batting, but KT is trying to be cautious about Huh Kyung-min's return.

When asked about Huh Kyung-min's possible selection, head coach Lee Kang-chul said, "I'll check if he comes tomorrow. Just in time, tomorrow's opponent is a left-handed pitcher, and (Oh) Yoon-seok is also playing well. He gave a conservative answer, saying that his batting average is 60 percent.

On this day, KT consisted of Choi Won-joon (center fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Ahn Hyun-min (right fielder), Sam Hilliard (left fielder), Jang Sung-woo (designated hitter), Ryu Hyun-in (third baseman), Oh Yoon-seok (second baseman), Han Seung-taek (catcher), and Lee Kang-min (striker). The starting pitcher is Matt Sauer.

Han Seung-taek (32), who complained of side pain in a match last week, will start again on the same day. Han Seung-taek is an important backup resource for Jang Sung-woo (36), the main catcher, to rest as a designated hitter. However, since he is also old, coach Lee Kang-chul expressed his intention to manage him.

Coach Lee Kang-chul said, "I was thinking only (Jang) Sung-woo (managing), but I felt the need to manage Seung-taek (Han) because he was suddenly sick. I think I should use the voice actor about twice a week," he said.

He continued, "I got into a habit because voice actors were always on the show. Now that I think about it, I think the voice actor must have had a hard time physically. If I hadn't used a voice actor like that, I would have hit .28 to .3%. Seong-woo praised me by saying, "I raised my eye level too high (about the catcher)."
