‘This is the championship ring’
2023 Korean Series MVP Oh Ji-hwan (34, LG Twins) has returned to the first team.
Keisho Shirakawa (23), who was recruited by Doosan Bears as a short-term replacement foreign player, greeted his new teammates for the first time.
LG has added starting shortstop Oh Ji-hwan to its first-team roster ahead of the home game against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 11th.
Catcher Kim Seong-woo was promoted to the first team along with Oh Ji-hwan, while catcher Heo Do-hwan and pitcher Kim Jin-su were sent down to the second team.
Oh Ji-hwan’s last appearance on the first-team roster was on May 30, 42 days after he was placed on the injured list with a sprained right wrist tendon. 안전놀이터
Oh Ji-hwan’s return to the first team was further delayed due to an injury to his left hamstring during wrist rehabilitation.
Ji-Hwan Oh, who started as a shortstop in the Futures (2nd team) League game against the Hanwha Eagles held in Seosan on the 10th and hit 1 hit in 4 at-bats, was declared ‘rehabilitation complete’ and was promoted to the 1st team on the 11th.
Oh Ji-hwan will start as the 6th batter and shortstop in the game against KIA on the 11th.
Shirakawa visited Suwon Stadium that day, greeted his new Doosan teammates, and warmed up by playing catch.
On the 10th, Doosan signed a ‘6-week contract’ with Shirakawa for 4 million yen (approximately 34.3 million won).
This year, the Korean Professional Baseball League introduced a new system that allows foreign players who are injured to the point where they require treatment for more than six weeks to be placed on a list of rehabilitation players and a replacement foreign player to play until the player returns.
SSG Landers first utilized this system to recruit Shirakawa in late May when Roenis Elias was out for more than six weeks with a groin injury.
Shirakawa, who came from the Japanese independent league, appeared in five games for SSG, recording 2 wins, 2 losses, and an ERA of 5.09, and said goodbye to SSG after his six-week contract ended.
Doosan’s foreign pitcher Brandon Waddell was diagnosed with a left subscapularis injury, and Doosan placed Brandon on the ‘rehabilitation player list’ on June 28.
Although Brandon’s condition is improving, Doosan, which judged that he would not be able to pitch in the first team for more than six weeks ‘as of the end of June’, recruited Shirakawa as a short-term replacement foreign player.
Shirakawa is scheduled to make his transfer announcement by starting in the three-game weekend series (12th-14th) against the Samsung Lions at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. 카지노사이트 추천
