  • The KBO announced seven roster changes on the day without games.
  • Lotte Giants removed catcher Son Seong-bin and outfielders Kim Dong-hyun and Son Ho-young from its roster.
  • The report describes Son Seong-bin’s absence as especially damaging for ninth-place Lotte, while last-place Kiwoom also lost its ace.

Things are not going smoothly for either of the KBO’s struggling teams. Ninth-place Lotte Giants suffered another setback, while last-place Kiwoom Heroes lost its “ace.”

The KBO announced seven roster removals on the 7th, a day without games. Lotte removed catcher Son Seong-bin and outfielders Kim Dong-hyun and Son Ho-young.

Son Seong-bin’s departure hurts especially badly because he is Lotte’s starting catcher. The report also says Kiwoom’s ace was removed from the roster, adding to the difficulties facing the league’s bottom team.
