The Lotte Giants made changes to their roster as they faced poor performance and injury setbacks. Veterans Jeon Jun-woo and outfielder Jang Du-seong were removed from the first-division roster, while Kim Dong-hyuk and Kim Dong-hyun, who have returned from military service, fill their spots.
On the 19th, Lotte announced its lineup and the status of roster additions and removals ahead of the match against Kiwoom Heroes, which will be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul.
Key hitter Jeon Jun-woo, who had been suffering from a severe batting slump with a batting average of 0.115 over the last 10 games, was ultimately excluded from the first-division roster to take a period of adjustment. Additionally, outfielder Jang Du-seong, who suffered a contusion, was also removed for player protection and management purposes.
Kim Dong-hyuk and Kim Dong-hyun were suddenly registered to fill the vacancies left by the two players. They immediately joined the team after completing their reserve training schedule and made it onto the first-division roster. It is a critical time for their performance to fill the gaps in the starting lineup.
On this day, Lotte set its starting lineup against Kiwoom's starting pitcher Alcantara as follows: Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Reyes (left fielder), Han Dong-hee (third baseman), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jeon Min-jae (shortstop), Noh Jin-hyuk (designated hitter), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), and Park Geon-woo (catcher). The starting pitcher is Lee Min-seok. Catcher Park Geon-woo will start for the second consecutive game, following his start on the previous day (the 18th).
