As LG Twins challenge for a weekend sweep against KIA Tigers, they have made significant changes to their starting lineup. Additionally, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, the team's commander, shared hopeful remarks regarding players who may return next week.

LG will face KIA in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 31st.

After defeating KIA 12-2 on the 29th, LG secured a 3-1 victory the following day (the 30th) for a two-game winning streak. LG has recorded 32 wins and 20 losses. The team holds sole first place in the league standings, with a 0.5-game lead over second-place KT Wiz.

LG set its starting batting order as follows: Hong Chang-ki (right fielder), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Park Dong-won (catcher), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (left fielder), Koo Bon-hyeok (third baseman), and Shin Min-hyeok (second baseman). The starting pitcher is Tollhurst.

Compared to the previous day, Moon Jung-bin replaced Cheon Song-ho at first base. Additionally, Koo Bon-hyeok will start at third base, replacing Lee Young-bin who guarded the hot corner the day before. Regarding the catcher's mask, Lee Ju-heon wore it the previous day, but Park Dong-won will wear it for today's game.

Furthermore, LG will see the return of key starting-level resources next week: Moon Bo-kyung and Moon Sung-ju.

Manager Yeom said regarding the two, "First, we want to see them play in the Futures League today. What truly matters is the players' feel. If (Moon) Bo-kyung says he needs to play a couple more games, he will do so. He can be registered next Tuesday (June 2), but ultimately, the timing must be decided based on their own condition. What is important is their batting feel."

Meanwhile, facing LG, KIA set its starting batting order as follows: Park Jae-hyun (left fielder), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Kim Do-young (designated hitter), Adellin (first baseman), Han Jun-su (catcher), Oh Seon-woo (right fielder), Kim Ho-ryeong (center fielder), Park Min (third baseman), and Kim Gyu-seong (shortstop). The starting pitcher is Yang Hyeon-jong.
