Jeon Min-jae, who had not been in the starting lineup for a while, returned as the main shortstop.

The Lotte Giants will play the last game of the weekend series against the SSG Landers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th.

Lotte unveiled its lineup before the game. On this day, Lotte will play as a lineup of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Han Tae-yang (second base), Ko Seung-min (first base), Reyes (left wing), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Son Ho-young (designated hitter), Kim Min-sung (third base), and Jeon Min-jae (striker). The starter is Park Se-woong.




Until the previous day, Park Seung-wook was expected to be the main shortstop. Jeon Min-jae's starting shortstop appearance was his second in August after the match against the Busan KIA Tigers on the 7th.

Jeon Min-jae, who was the main shortstop until the first half, gave way to Park Seung-wook due to injuries and sluggishness between June and July. Park Seung-wook has shown a more steady performance in batting. Jeon Min-jae is in a position to show his presence in his first start in a long time.

Noh Jin-hyuk, who played first base and designated hitter, was also excluded from the starting lineup unlike the previous day. On Roh Jin-hyuk's utilization plan, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `It is difficult to hit the shortstop, and the position is considered to be the first base and the designated hitter" he once answered.




Kim Min-sung also came out instead of Son Ho-young, and Son Ho-young moved to the designated hitter. It rained repeatedly over two days, making the ground slippery, and the error in the first game against SSG also seems to have affected it.

Park Se-woong seems to have regained stability in the second half after overcoming confusion in the first half. He has a 1.80 ERA in three games and 20 innings against the Kiwoom Heroes (one run in seven innings), the NC Dinos (six scoreless innings), and the Kiwoom (seven players and three runs).

Park Se-woong, who was scheduled to start the day, is playing catch while the game between SSG and Lotte, which was scheduled to be held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 9th, was canceled due to rain. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.08.09/
He is playing in the fifth starting position for a while, but in the end, Park Se-woong will have to shoulder the role of a native ace in the postseason.




Except for Na Seung-yeop, basically all of the team's main hitters started. Now Lotte is ready to run toward autumn, which will determine the year's harvest.
