The SSG Landers baseball team is facing another setback as pitcher Thomas Hatch has been removed from the first team roster due to shoulder pain. The American pitcher was slated to start the game on the 14th but experienced discomfort, forcing the team to make a roster change ahead of their match against the LG Twins.

SSG manager Lee Sung-yong confirmed Hatch's condition and his subsequent removal from the active roster. This decision comes at a critical time for the Landers, who have been struggling with their performance throughout the season. The team is currently in a difficult stretch, and the loss of a key pitcher like Hatch exacerbates their challenges.

The team's struggles have been evident, and the addition of Hatch's injury adds another layer of difficulty. The manager's announcement came just before the 13th game of the season against the LG Twins, highlighting the immediate impact of this roster move. The team now has to navigate this period without one of its important arms.

Today, (Thomas) Hatch is not feeling well in his shoulder, so he is scheduled to be removed from the first team entry tomorrow (the 16th).
