Lotte will have an exhibition game against the Doosan Bears at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Tuesday local time.

For manager Kim Tae-hyung, it is his first meeting with his former team.

However, Lotte's team was upset by the unexpected injury. Han Dong-hee, who was sidelined due to side pain during a match in the bottom of the fifth inning of the SSG match on the previous day, said in a detailed examination that he ruptured internal oblique muscles. The hospital diagnosed him with a maximum of four to six weeks of absence.

It is a bolt from the blue for the head coach, who appointed Han Dong-hee as the main third baseman, even though he was decided to join the Armed Forces Sports Unit in June.  토토사이트 추천

"I knew I was out of the frame at that moment," manager Kim Tae-hyung said before the match. He watched with anxiety for a while as Han Dong-hee collapsed, cradling his side. Han had been immediately evacuated to the hospital.

"Donghee came earlier. 'I think I can do it soon. I'm not sick. I'm much better now than yesterday.' But that doesn't mean you're not sick. You have to use 100 percent of your strength," Kim Tae-hyung said. "Once the pain is completely healed, I will have an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) again."

What will happen to Han Dong-hee's absence? "After all, it's a matter of how to use Noh Jin-hyuk and Park Seung-wook," coach Kim Tae-hyung said. "Lee Hak-ju continued training on the third base. I will use Kim Min-sung, Park Seung-wook, and Lee Hak-ju on the third base depending on the situation. I am also considering using Park as shortstop and Noh Jin-hyuk as third base."

Kim Min-seok, who was the starting left fielder before Han Dong-hee, also exited the Lotte Giants due to ruptured radiative muscles. Despite having a high school diploma last season, he played full time as the starting center fielder. He also showed off his fierce bat at spring camp.

He felt pain in his side during defensive training on the 7th, and the examination revealed that he had a ruptured right internal radiative muscle. He needs about four weeks of rehabilitation. Like Han Dong-hee, he will miss the entire exhibition game as well as the early schedule of the regular season including the opening game. Ko Seung-min is expected to replace Kim Min-seok's empty seat.
