Samsung Lions player Won Tae-in has been ruled out of the Premier12 tournament due to a shoulder injury. In response, Manager Ryu Jung-il selected LG Twins pitcher Lim Chan-gyu as his replacement. Lim showed strong performance in the recent playoffs and was judged to have an advantage in maintaining game readiness due to his short break. Manager Ryu considered other players including Lee Seung-hyun and Yoon Young-chul, but chose Lim after comprehensively evaluating his recent performance and physical condition. Lim Chan-gyu is scheduled to make his first appearance in a practice game against the Military Baseball Team on November 6.
