The Lotte Giants have been plagued by an injury nightmare all season. There will be plenty of sighs after the season ends.
The two players in charge of the ‘center line’ will spend the off-season rehabilitating due to injuries. Go Seung-min, who is perfectly settled at second base and has a fire bat, and Son Sung-bin, who replaced Yoo Kang-nam, who is out for the season.
“Both Go Seung-min and Son Sung-bin are scheduled for surgery in October,” said Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung at the Sajik Stadium on the 26th.
Son has been dropped from the first team, while Go Seung-min is still playing as his injury is not affecting his batting. Son will undergo surgery at Anam Ancient Hospital on October 7 and Go Seung-min on October 14, respectively. Go suffered a torn ligament in the middle phalangeal joint of his left thumb, and Son suffered a torn membrane in the ligament of his right wrist.
The injuries are more complicated than expected, requiring a longer surgery, treatment, and rehabilitation.
Go Seung-min is expected to be out for three months and Son Sung-bin for four months. Both were named to the Premier12 preliminary roster, and Go Seung-min was expected to be selected, but his dreams were dashed when the surgery was confirmed. 메이저사이트 They will now focus on rest and rehabilitation with the goal of joining the spring training camp that begins in late January.
Lotte will begin its final camp on Oct. 11 at Sajik Stadium in Busan. It will be held in parallel with the education league. Most of the seniors will be resting. Hwang Sung-bin, Yoon Dong-hee, Nae Seung-yup and Son Ho-young will focus on reinforcement training until the end of October. From November, they will split their training between Sajik and Sangdong.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, “All the players who had surgery will be able to join the team in time for next year’s spring training. There is no problem in preparing for the new season,” Kim explained.
