Samsung Lions pitcher Choi Won-tae removed from roster due to hip injury

Samsung Lions pitcher Choi Won-tae has been removed from the first-team roster due to a left hip injury. The club reported that he is experiencing slight pinching sensations in his hip.

While the team stated the injury is not severe, they have decided to have him skip one rotation as a precautionary measure to allow for proper recovery. This move cancels his scheduled appearance for the upcoming game against the SSG Landers on September 25.

As a key member of the starting rotation, Choi's absence leaves Samsung to manage upcoming games through alternative starters or a bullpen day. This comes at a critical time for the team as they compete for the top position in the KBO League standings.
