SSG Landers’ captain Choo Shin-soo (42) returned to the first team 16 days after suffering an injury in the opening game.

SSG registered Choo Shin-soo in the first team ahead of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League Kiwoom Heroes match held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th.

Previously, Shin-Soo Choo was a runner on second base in the season opening game against the Lotte Giants on the 23rd of last month, and was diagnosed with incontinence after being hit in the finger by the pitcher’s check ball and was left out of the lineup.

Choo Shin-soo, who underwent rehabilitation afterward, began batting training on the 9th and played in the Futures League (2nd team) game on the 10th.

On this day, Shin-Soo Choo, who played a daytime match in the Futures League against the Samsung Lions second team held in Ganghwa, Incheon, received a call from the first team and headed to the home stadium.

Shin-Soo Choo recorded 1 hit and 2 walks in 3 at-bats in 5 at-bats in the 2nd Futures League game.

SSG’s foreign player Roenis Elias, who left due to an ankle injury, will also return on this day and appear as a starting pitcher.

SSG, which registered two players, sent outfielders Kang Jin-seong and Kim Jung-min to the second team.

The KIA Tigers, who were struggling due to injuries to their starting players, were once again faced with bad news.

Lee Ui-ri, who started the game against the LG Twins the day before (10th), was diagnosed with a left elbow muscle sprain and was expunged from the first team. Although it was not a serious injury, he decided to take a break for management reasons.

In addition, Park Min, who was filling in for the starting shortstop Park Chan-ho due to injury, was also injured. Park Min also crashed into the spectator fence while chasing a foul ball during the LG game the previous day. An examination revealed that he suffered partial muscle damage to his left knee, requiring three weeks of rehabilitation.

KIA, which has already lost a lot of its strength due to injuries to Na Seong-beom, Hwang Dae-in, Im Ki-young, and Park Chan-ho, has become increasingly worried.

KIA called pitcher Kim Sa-yoon and infielder Hong Jong-pyo to the first team instead.

The Doosan Bears called pitcher Hong Geon-hee, who played as a closing pitcher last year, to the first team for the first time this season. Hong Geon-hee stopped training during spring camp due to a sprain of his right index finger, delaying his preparation for the season.

Doosan sent Kim Min-gyu to the second team instead of Hong Geon-hee.

NC also added foreign hitter Matt Davidson to the injured list due to elbow pain. Instead, infielder Kim Soo-yoon was called up.

In addition, pitcher Baek Seung-hyun of LG, infielder Dae-seon Jeong and pitcher Woo-jun Jeong of Lotte, and pitcher Seok-won Yoon of Kiwoom were registered in the first team.

Pitcher Lee Ji-gang (LG), infielder Noh Jin-hyuk, pitcher Park Jin (Lotte), and pitcher Kim Dong-hyuk (Kiwoom) were moved down to the second team.
