On this Monday with no games scheduled, changes occurred in the KBO League first division rosters. As each team reorganized its lineup to ensure roster readiness and provide rest for players, a total of seven players were notified of their assignment to the minor league.
According to the the 7th first division registration and removal status released by the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), seven players were removed from the first division rosters on this day, with no new players registered.
The most notable name is Kiwoom Heroes' ace An Woo-jin. An Woo-jin was unexpectedly removed from the first division roster on this day. A Kiwoom official explained to StarNews that the reason for An Woo-jin's removal was "for rest purposes, not due to any special injury." Along with An Woo-jin, infielder Eo Jun-seo was also sent down to the minor league.
Lotte Giants, who have fallen back to ninth place in the standings, launched a major roster overhaul. Lotte removed three players at once: catcher Son Seong-bin, infielder Son Ho-young, and outfielder Kim Dong-hyun, conducting the largest-scale roster adjustment among all 10 teams. Other teams also began roster adjustments. KT Wiz removed infielder Moon Sang-cheol, and SSG Landers excluded pitcher Choi Yong-jun from the first division roster.
In contrast, the remaining six teams—Samsung Lions, LG Twins, KIA Tigers, Doosan Bears, NC Dinos, and Hanwha Eagles—had no players removed from their rosters on this day. Notably, Samsung infielder Lee Jae-hyun, who was struck in the left elbow by a 149 km/h fastball thrown by Woo Kang-hoon during the Jamsil LG game the previous day (the 6th), remained in the first division without any special incidents or roster removals.
