By Oh Sang-jin Reporter= SSG Landers, mired in a three-game losing streak, has made a change in the bullpen.
SSG canceled catcher Kim Min-sik, outfielder Oh Tae-gon, and pitcher Shin Heon-min ahead of their home game against the LG Twins at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on April 18. Catcher Lee Jae-won, infielder Jeon Eui-san, and pitcher Kim Ju-on were called up to fill the vacancies.
SSG recently suffered a shock sweep in a three-game series against Lotte. The bullpen collapsed, giving up a whopping 32 runs (10-7-15) in the three games, with Kim Min-sik, who started on the 15th and 17th and gave up double-digit runs, not escaping blame.안전놀이터
Oh Tae-gon, who is batting .150 (3-for-20) in his last 10 games, was removed from the roster for the first time this season. Shin Heon-min, who struggled in the 17th game, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits in ⅔ of an inning in a nine-run eighth inning, was also dropped back to the second team one day after making the first team.
Lee Jae-won, who was removed from the first team roster on July 26, was recalled after about three weeks. Lee, who has struggled mightily this season with a .077 batting average (3-for-39) in 20 games, will once again have a chance to redeem himself in the first team.
Jeon Eui-san, who was expunged from the roster on June 22 due to a hamstring injury, also received a call-up to the first team after nearly two months. Kim Joo-on, who has one win, one save and two shutouts in 11 games in the Futures League this season with a 0.00 goals-against average, was called up to the first team for the second time in July.
