'The Doosan Bears' mound saw mixed fortunes. Ace Kwak Bin (27) was excluded from the roster, while closer Kim Taek-yeon (21), who is currently injured, is scheduled to return to the first team as early as June 9.

'Doosan removed Kwak Bin from the first-team roster ahead of their match against Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 30th and called up outfielder Ryu Seung-min (22).

'Doosan manager Kim Won-hyung (54) told reporters before the game, "Kwak Bin's right middle finger skin peeled off while pitching during the last game (against KT Wiz on the 28th). It will be difficult for him to pitch again, so he will skip one turn in the rotation for now. We plan to select a replacement starter recommended from the second team," he said.

'Ryu Seung-min, who was traded 1:1 with Park Gye-beom on the 6th and moved from Samsung, was registered in the first-team roster for the first time with Doosan. Manager Kim explained, "We kept receiving reports that his performance in the second team was good." Ryu played 34 games in the Futures League this season, recording a batting average of 0.339.

'Meanwhile, Kim Taek-yeon, who was excluded from the first team on April 25 due to a shoulder injury, is now entering the live pitching phase. Manager Kim said, "He will do live pitching on June 3 and is scheduled to appear in second-team games on the 6th and 8th. If there are no major issues, he should be able to join the first team starting the three-game series against Busan Lotte Giants on the 9th."
