Pitching coach Park Seung-min and a team trainer came to the mound to check on Kim. 안전놀이터 A substitution sign was then given.
At the time, Hanwha announced, “Kim Min-woo has been replaced due to right elbow pain. He is currently icing it and will be examined on the 15th.” He was removed from the first team roster the next day on the 14th.

Hwang Jun-seo will get the start while Kim Min-woo is out. “After today’s game, he will have four days of rest before going into Kim Min-woo’s spot,” Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho said before the game on Thursday.
