Another bad news occurred for the LG Twins, whose third-place Mercury is in danger.

Even so, there was a breakaway from the starting lineup, which had been holding out.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the away game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 18th, `Choi Won-tae, who was supposed to start tomorrow, is said to be dizzy with Lee Seok-seong. I can't get out." As an alternative starter, "I think we should prepare for this."

Choi Won-tae is 8-6 with a 4.14 ERA in 22 starts.

He pitched a stable 6-3 record with a 3.80 ERA until early June, but suddenly complained of right side pain a day before taking the mound, and was diagnosed with micro-damage to his right dorsal muscle as a result of the examination.

Choi Won-tae, who returned to Daejeon against Hanwha on July 12, has been performing worse than in the beginning with 2 wins, 3 losses and an ERA of 4.59 in 10 games since then.

Otolithiasis causes dizziness by flowing inside the semicircular duct, which is involved in maintaining balance in the ear. In general, it often improves naturally without treatment.

As Choi Won-tae is out, LG has to play with bullpen day right away.

For LG, which is trailing Doosan in fourth place by 1.5 games, one game and one game are valuable.

Coach Yeom said, "(Moon) Sung-joo also has a gall bladder, so I don't think he will be able to play as a substitute until tomorrow (19th)," adding, "There was no substitute when it mattered because Sung-joo was not there." I wanted to pinch-hit Seongju with the bases loaded in the eighth inning yesterday (17th), but it was too bad."

Coach Yeom also said, "(Ham) Deok-ju is also not likely to take the mound until today (18th) just because his back is clumped together."

The team is in a difficult situation, but the injured continue to come out, forcing them to play harder.

Coach Yeom said, `We have to fight for a while, but the players are very sick.' It's the same for any team. You have to overcome it"I hoped for the last spurt from the players.
