Lotte Giants foreign pitcher Charlie Barnes, who was out due to injury, is expected to make his comeback in the first series

of the second half.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung met with reporters at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd and said about Barnes' return

schedule, "The first game of the second half will probably be a little burdensome, and it will probably be the second or

third game after that."

Lotte will have a four-day All-Star break starting on the 5th, and then play three away games against SSG Landers from the

9th to the 토토 11th.

Barnes started in the home game against the Samsung Lions on May 26, but came off the mound in the top of the second

inning due to thigh pain.

Barnes, who was diagnosed with a microscopic tear of the inner thigh, was initially expected to return within two to three

weeks, but his recovery was delayed and his return within the first half of the season was not possible.

It is regrettable that Lotte was unable to utilize the short-term replacement foreign player system introduced this year.

"We didn't know it would take this long, so we weren't prepared," said Director Kim.

Manager Kim said about infielder Son Ho-young, who injured his hamstring, "I think the (return) schedule will come out

after he undergoes tests in the second half."

Lotte, which had won five games in a row up until the game against Hanwha Eagles on the 28th of last month, had four

consecutive games cancelled due to rain, including this day.

Coach Kim said calmly, "I don't think the flow was interrupted by the game being postponed. If we win, it's definitely a

good flow."
