The mound's worries grew even more.
The Samsung Lions removed pitchers Won Tae-in and Baek Jung-hyun from the roster ahead of a home game against the NC Dinos at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday. Instead, they called up pitcher Yuk Seon-yeop.
According to a Samsung official, Won Tae-in was excluded from the entry as a simple rest.
Baek is expected to return to the hospital after 10 days. Baek encountered an injury reef. During training on Wednesday, he felt uncomfortable in his left shoulder. After conducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests to the hospital on Wednesday, inflammation was found in the shoulder joint. It will take some time for him to come back after recovering from the injury.
Won Tae-in is Samsung's starting ace. Since joining the Lionesses' Corps through the first round of nominations in 2019, he has continued to play in starting rotation every year.
This season, he also performed well with five wins and two losses with an ERA of 2.68 from 74 innings in 12 games, 52 strikeouts, eight walks, nine quality starts (more than six innings and less than three earned runs, QS), and 1.03 on-base allowed per inning (WHIP). He ranked first in the minimum number of walks (based on pitchers who met the regular innings), tied for third in the QS, and fifth in the WHIP.
Baek Jung-hyun is the mainstay of the must-win group. He boasted two wins, three holds and one save with an earned run average of 1.95 in 29 games and 32 ⅓ innings this year. He has also displayed impressive performance in 10 ⅔ innings with an earned run average of 0.84.
As the two players were briefly excluded from the team's roster, the remaining pitchers' roles became important. As Won Tae-in is absent from the starting lineup, other existing pitchers should cheer up. In the middle pitching lineup, which has been considered a weakness in recent seasons, players have to gather strength.
However, the Samsung mound collapsed immediately in the match against NC on the 7th.
First of all, starting pitcher Denny Reyes showed sluggish performance with six hits (one homer), two walks, three strikeouts and four runs and 71 pitches in three innings. Reyes started the season late due to fine fatigue fracture in his right metatarsal bone that occurred during spring camp. He was called up on March 30 but was canceled again on April 14 due to right shoulder pain.
Reyes, who returned after 13 days of reorganization, was less than expected. The ups and downs have intensified. After returning to the team, he only had two wins and two losses with an ERA of 4.00 in seven games and 36 innings. In the game against NC, he was hit hard from the beginning, revealing his anxiety.
Samsung led 6-4 through the third inning due to three-run homerun and two-run timely hit by Lewin Diaz. Reyes was immediately removed from the mound in the fourth inning and bullpen pitchers were put in. However, most of the pitchers who came out took the loss.
Oh Seung-hwan, the second pitcher, retired by allowing two runs in ⅔ innings. Hwang Dong-jae then allowed two runs in two ⅔ innings, Lim Chang-min allowed one run in 0 innings, Lee Seung-min allowed one run in 1 ⅔ inning, and Kim Jae-yoon allowed 2 runs in 1 ⅔ inning. Yuk Seon-yeop, who joined the team as the last pitcher, allowed no runs in 2 ⅓ innings.
On this day, Diaz hit hard with three hits in four at-bats (one home run) and five RBIs, and Kim Ji-chan added three hits in five at-bats. Ryu Ji-hyuk gave his team 7-6 with a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth inning when the score was 6-6.
Pitchers did not respond. They lost more points than batters gave, shaking hands. Samsung has to fill the two biggest gaps. 바카라사이트
