Professional baseball LG Twins player Moon Seong-joo was removed from the first team roster.
LG adjusted the first team roster before the game against NC at Changwon NC Park on the 28th. Moon Seong-joo was removed from the first team and Lee Young-bin was called up to the first team.
On this day, LG's starting lineup included Hong Chang-ki (designated hitter), Song Chan-ui (left fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-gyeong (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Moon Jeong-bin (right fielder), Koo Bon-hyeok (shortstop), Park Hae-min (center fielder), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman).
Against left-handed Logan, right-handed batters Song Chan-ui, Austin, Park Dong-won, Moon Jeong-bin, and Koo Bon-hyeok were featured.
Kim Hyun-soo, who hit the winning hit in the 8th inning the day before, and starting shortstop Oh Ji-hwan were excluded from the starting lineup and are waiting on the bench.
Moon Seong-joo was removed from the first team due to lower back muscle pain. He started the previous day’s game against Hanwha as a left fielder in the second spot, recorded no hits in one at-bat, and was replaced. He successfully stole second base during Moon Bo-gyeong's at-bat with one out in the first inning. However, he was replaced by Song Chan-ui in the 4th inning during defense.
At that time, LG said, "Moon Seong-joo was replaced for player protection due to lower back tightness during the sliding on the steal attempt. There are no plans for hospital treatment, and we will monitor his condition."
An LG official explained on the 28th, "The results of the hospital examination show nothing unusual, and he will rest for ten days due to muscle pain. There is also some psychological anxiety with the player, so he will be given rest."
