Yönaathan Ferraza, the foreign hitter for the Hanwha Eagles, has been benched for the third consecutive game. The team announced its starting lineup for the August 23rd game against the LG Twins at Hanwha Life Insurance Ballpark, omitting Ferraza from the starting roster.

The Eagles' lineup for the match includes Kim Tae-yeon in right field, Moon Hyun-bin in center field, and Han Ji-yoon in left field. Kang Baek-ho is designated as the hitter, Noh Si-hwan is at third base, Chae Eun-seong is at first base, Heo In-seo is the catcher, Lee Do-yoon is at second base, and Park Jung-hyun is at shortstop.

This decision comes as the team's batting lineup struggles, with the manager emphasizing the need for the offense to perform better. Ferraza's absence from the starting lineup for multiple games signals a potential shift in strategy as the team seeks to improve its offensive output.
