Doosan Bears announced its starting lineup for the final game of a midweek three-game series against LG Twins.

Doosan will face LG at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 3rd at 6:30 p.m. in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game.

Doosan has already lost both games against LG, putting the series on the brink of being swept. With two consecutive losses, Doosan sits alone in fifth place in the league with a record of 61 wins, 54 losses, and 4 ties. They trail fourth-place KIA Tigers by two games and third-place LG Twins by four games.

For today's game, Doosan set its starting lineup as follows: Park Chan-ho (shortstop), An Jae-seok (third baseman), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Severino (first baseman), Jo Su-haeng (right fielder), Yoon Jun-ho (catcher), and Jung Soobin (center fielder). The starting pitcher is Kwak Bin, known as the 'KBO League's top ace.'

Kwak has appeared in 24 games this season, posting a record of 11 wins and 5 losses with an ERA of 2.36.
