LG Twins' starting shortstop Oh Ji-hwan (34), who had been out of action for over a month due to injury, swung a fierce

bat in a practice game.

Oh Ji-hwan started as the designated hitter in the practice game against the independent team Hwaseong Corillo held at

the LG Champions Park in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 4th, recording 3 hits and 1 walk in 4 at-bats.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the away game against Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on

this day, "Oh Ji-hwan will return during the three-game series at the start of the second half (9th-11th, against KIA

Tigers)" and "I think his physical condition has recovered to some extent, as he played in a real game today."

Oh Ji-hwan was placed on the injured list on May 30 with a sprained right wrist extensor tendon, and after recovering, he

injured the hamstring muscle in the back of his left thigh again while training defensively with the minor leagues.

Fortunately, Oh Ji-hwan recovered quickly and was in good enough condition to play in an actual match.

Starting pitcher Choi Won-tae, who had been out due to injury, also started in the Futures League (2nd team) game on this

day and checked his physical 안전 condition.

Won-Tae Choi pitched well in the away game against Goyang Heroes in the Futures League held at Goyang Stadium in

Gyeonggi Province, throwing 42 pitches over 3 innings, allowing 3 hits, striking out 2, and allowing no runs.

Choi Won-tae was diagnosed with a right latissimus dorsi injury on the 12th of last month and has been concentrating on

recovery since then.

Manager Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, "Choi Won-tae will return as scheduled as the fourth starting pitcher in the second

half."

Manager Yeom also said about bullpen pitcher Ham Deok-ju, who underwent elbow surgery in January, "He could return

as early as the end of this month."
