    LG’s Starting Shortstop Oh Ji-hwan Returns… Doosan’s New Foreigner Shirakawa Joins

    2023 Korean Series MVP Oh Ji-hwan (34, LG Twins) 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 the first-team roster ahead of the home game against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 11th.

    Catcher Kim Seong-woo has been promoted to the first-team along with Oh Ji-hwan, while catcher Heo Do-hwan and pitcher Kim Jin-su have been sent down to the second-team. 바카라사이트 추천

    Oh Ji-hwan’s first appearance on the first-team roster is 42 days after he was placed on the injured list on May 30 due to a sprained right wrist extensor tendon.

    Ji -Hwan Oh’s return to the first team was delayed further due to an injury to his left thigh muscle (hamstring) during wrist rehabilitation.

    Oh Ji-hwan, who started as a shortstop in the Futures (2nd team) League game against the Hanwha Eagles in Seosan on the 10th and hit 1 hit in 4 at-bats, was declared ‘rehabilitation complete’ and was called up to the first team on the 11th.

    He 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 with catch ball.

    On the 10th, Doosan signed a 4 million yen (approximately 34.3 million won) ‘6-week contract’ with Shirakawa.

    This year, the Korean professional baseball league introduced a new system where if an existing foreign player is injured to the extent that he needs treatment for more than 6 weeks, he is listed on the rehabilitation player list and a replacement foreign player can play until the player returns.

    SSG Landers first used this system to recruit Keisho Shirakawa in late May when Roenis Elias was out for more than six weeks with a hamstring injury.

    Shirakawa, who came from the Japanese independent league, pitched in five games for SSG, posting 2 wins, 2 losses, and an ERA of 5.09, and said goodbye to SSG at the end of his six-week contract.
