“Ko Woo-seok is scheduled to pitch in the Futures game next week.”

An outline of the return schedule for LG Twins’ closer Go Woo-seok (24), who is undergoing treatment and recovery from inflammation in his right shoulder, is coming out. It is expected to be able to return by the middle of next week at the earliest.

LG Twins coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop met with reporters ahead of the match against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 8th and said, “I think Ko Woo-seok should try throwing in the futures game. He explained, “I plan to schedule a return after seeing the results,” and “I have a plan to start the Futures game next week.

Previously, Ko Woo-seok complained of pain in the official practice game of the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC), and eventually it was confirmed that he had an inflammatory problem, so he has not been able to appear until now.

Since it is an area to be careful of, we plan to return safely with great care. That is why he plans to check his status through actual matches in the Futures game and raise him to the first team. 스포츠토토

Director Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “Currently, we can pitch in the bullpen,” and expressed expectations for the strength of the entire bullpen, saying, “Ko Woo-seok comes, Jung Woo-young comes up, and then the long man and setup man in the middle and the finish line will be settled.”

Despite Ko Woo-seok’s absence, LG recorded good bullpen performance with a team salvation average of 3.20 (3rd in the league) and is cruising with 4 wins and 2 losses at the beginning of the season. If Ko Woo-seok returns, it is expected that the strength of the strongest bullpen shown last year can be added.
