On the 25th at 6 p.m., Doosan will host Samsung Lions in a regular-season home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium as part of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

Doosan suffered a decisive 4-15 loss to Samsung the previous day (the 24th), dropping the first of their three-game weekend series.

For today's game, Doosan set its starting lineup in the following order: Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Son A-seop (designated hitter), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Ahn Jae-seok (third baseman), Severino (first baseman), Jung Soobin (center fielder), Kim Daehun (right fielder), and Lee Yu-chan (shortstop). The starting pitcher is Jacklog.

Notably, Park Chan-ho was left out of the starting lineup.

Before the game, Doosan manager Kim Won-hyung explained the reason for excluding Park Chan-ho from the lineup: "He reported some discomfort in his shoulder and elbow today, so we decided to leave him out. It's not an easy situation for him to play."

He added, "Son A-seop responded well at the end of yesterday's game. Since Severino needs to play, Son A-seop's participation allowed Kang Seung-ho to rest for a day."
