After securing a dramatic eighth-inning comeback victory against Lotte Giants the previous day (the 15th), the Samsung Lions' pitching staff has completed preparations with even greater stability. Manager Park Jin-man dismissed concerns about 'foreign ace' Chris Feddeck's (30) scheduled appearance after just four days of rest, calling it a meticulously planned schedule. Meanwhile, right-handed reliever Lee Seung-hyun (35), who had temporarily left the lineup due to severe neck pain, has fully returned to the first division and is ready for immediate deployment.

Ahead of the away game against Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 16th, Manager Park Jin-man expressed confidence in his pitching staff's management and starting rotation schedule during a meeting with reporters.

The primary concern was Feddeck's short rest interval. After appearing in the the 11th match against Kiwoom Heroes at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, Feddeck is scheduled to pitch again after just four days of rest at Jamsil. When asked if the tight schedule might be burdensome, Manager Park firmly stated, "There is absolutely no risk or issue."

Manager Park explained, "The player himself has prepared well. Additionally, we had already communicated a schedule in advance to have him rest for four days before his next appearance. Feddeck has been training and managing his condition accordingly." He added, "Starting pitchers typically operate on monthly schedules unless games are delayed by rain or unexpected variables arise. Since they have thoroughly prepared, there are no physical concerns whatsoever," expressing strong confidence.

Furthermore, during the the 11th match against Kiwoom, Feddeck was struck in the heel by a hard-hit ball from Kiwoom catcher Kim Dong-heon. Despite this, he maintained a top speed of 150 km/h and held opponents to three earned runs over six innings. Responding to StarNews' inquiry, Feddeck smiled and said, "There is absolutely no issue with my starting appearance. Although I initially had some bruising and slight pain, the training staff managed it well, so I am in perfect condition."

Although left-handed pitcher Bae Chan-seung was unavailable due to his selection for the Asian Games, Samsung received reliable bullpen support. Right-hander Lee Seung-hyun, who had been resting recently after developing neck and shoulder pain, has been added to the first-division roster ahead of the match on the 16th.

When asked about Lee Seung-hyun's physical condition, Manager Park stated, "There was absolutely nothing wrong with his throwing arm. It was simply that his neck pain was quite severe." He continued, "He has now fully recovered and can immediately join the bullpen from today onward," indicating increased flexibility in managing the winning lineup.
