Lim Chan-gyu (LG Twins) is expected to start as LG’s starting pitcher in the game on the 4th of next month.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop talked about Lim Chan-gyu before the second game between the NC Dinos and Double Header in the regular season of the 2024 Professional Baseball KBO League held at NC Park in Changwon at 5 pm on the 30th.

However, Lim Chan-gyu has been hampered by an unexpected injury recently. He withdrew from the first team on the 3rd due to back muscle pain. After that, Lim Chan-gyu made his comeback in the Jamsil game against KT Wiz on the 23rd (3 hits, 1 home run, 5 dead balls, 8 strikeouts, 1 run lost in 5 innings) and won, showing his ability. Since he rested for more than a week, he is expected to play at the beginning of next week.
But the head coach said he would not force himself. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met before the game on the 30th, revealed that Lim Chan-kyu will start in the game against Gocheok Kiwoom on the 4th of next month, and said, “His waist is not good. If he moves forward, it won’t be too much of a stretch.” “It may become a formal game in the second half, so I was troubled for a long time, and finally moved it back. There is still more than a week after pitching (due to the All-Star stopper). Then (physical condition) will be perfect.”
Foreign pitchers Casey Kelly and Dietrick Enns will pitch the games on July 2 and 3. Coach Yeom said, “Last year, we formulated a battle strategy. This time, we should try to avoid injuries to the players and give them a rest, while also formulating a battle force for the second half of the season. Kelly and Enns will pitch on Tuesday (July 2) and Wednesday (July 3), respectively, and will pitch again after a week of rest. There will be a rest day (All-Star Game) later.”

Meanwhile, Changwon NC Park is ready for the start of the game. It rained a lot in the morning, but the rain has subsided in the afternoon. Although it is drizzling now, it will not affect the game.
