Doosan Bears veteran outfielder Son Ah-seop (38), recently acquired from the Hanwha Eagles via trade, has been left out of the starting lineup.

Doosan is set to face the LG Twins at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 26th in a regular-season home game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

Following a 1-4 loss to LG on the 24th, Doosan suffered a heartbreaking walk-off defeat in the ninth inning the previous day (25th), falling into a three-game losing streak. Their season record stands at 9 wins, 1 tie, and 14 losses.

For today's game, Doosan has arranged the starting batting order as follows: Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Cameron (right fielder), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Lee Yu-chan (left fielder), Im Jong-seong (third baseman), Yoon Jun-ho (catcher), and Jung Soobin (center fielder). The starting pitcher for Doosan is Wes Benjamin. LG's starting pitcher is Song Seung-gi.

Notably, Son Ah-seop, who started as the second designated hitter the previous day, has been excluded from the starting lineup. After going 0-for-4 in the Busan Lotte game on the 21st, he recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats against Lotte on the 23rd. He then went 0-for-3 and 0-for-4 in silence in the two previous games against LG. His batting average for the season stands at just 0.118.

Additionally, Im Jong-seong, who was added to the first-team roster the previous day, has secured a spot in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, instead of Lee Yu-chan heading to the outfield, Kim Min-seok will start the game from the bench.
