Doosan Bears' all-round infielder Lee Yoo-chan (27) shook off his injury and resumed training.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said Lee Yoo-chan started to return before the game against the NC Dinos in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Jamsil Stadium on the 23rd.

Lee Yoo-chan is a super utility resource that can defend the second and third base shortstop as well as the outfield defense.




However, on April 6, he injured his elbow against Lotte in Busan. He rushed home and collided with the catcher. He was diagnosed with internal ligament damage and devoted himself to rehabilitation.

Doosan also had difficulty forming the infield as its main shortstop Park Joon-young was recently excluded from the first team due to back pain.

Fortunately during the misfortune, new players began to cheer up.




Oh Myung-jin took the second base and moved to shortstop after Park Joon-young's injury, filling the gap well.

On the 22nd, third baseman Lim Jong-sung made his debut home run with a come-from-behind grand slam, making a clear impression.

If Lee Yoo-chan returns, Doosan's infield will surely become younger.




However, it is difficult to come up soon. Since he was absent for nearly two months, his sense of practice has declined significantly.

Director Lee Seung-yeop began the free batting. In fact, it's not a very simple injury. I prepared a lot for the training part. I can't wait to see Yoo-chan because his gap is so big, but it's not just my greed. He said he had to wait a little longer.

Lee Yoo-chan is not just a pinch-hitter agent. All functions must be restored normally before they can be used as the main player.

Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, `Yoo-chan is the best in our team not only in hitting but also in defense and baserunning. He is a player who wants to see all the offensive defense bases. I think I need to play a little bit and come up. I think I'll join the team next week to increase the training intensity and the game schedule will come out if it's okay. The game has not been scheduled yet."

Hopefully, it can come within the first half of the year.

Ace Kwak Bin and must-win group Hong Gun-hee are also close to making a comeback. Doosan's counterattack is expected to begin soon.
