Oh Jae-il is out of the lineup after going hitless the day before.
The Samsung Lions, coached by Park Jin-man, will play their eighth game of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Thursday. Samsung lost the previous day, 1-2, as the bats failed to break through despite a 5.1-inning no-hitter from starter Choi Chae-heung. They are now 1-6 against LG this season.
Samsung’s lineup is Kim Ji-chan (second base), Kim Hyun-joon (center field), Jose Pirela (left field), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Kim Dong-yup (designated hitter), Lee Jae-hyun (shortstop), Kim Ho-jae (first base), Ryu Seung-min (right field), and Kim Young-woong (third base).

Compared to the previous day, Oh Jae-il was dropped from the starting lineup. Oh was silent the previous day, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. On the 11th, he seemed to come alive with two home runs against Daegu Lotte, but he was silent again. Kim Jae-sung was also left out. Kim Dong-yeop and Kim Ho-jae are in the lineup instead.
The starting pitcher is David Buchanan. This will be Buchanan’s first start since the last two days against Daegu Hanwha. He missed the starting rotation last week due to unexplained pain in the back of his hand.토토사이트
Manager Park Jin-man said, “Buchanan’s physical condition is fine. There is nothing wrong with his body, but I don’t know what will happen if he throws 100%. I’ll throw him today and check his condition again tomorrow.”
LG’s starting lineup was Hong Chang-ki (center field), Moon Sung-joo (right field), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Austin Dean (first base), Park Dong-won (catcher), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Moon Bo-kyung (third base), Lee Jae-won (left field), and Shin Min-jae (second base). Compared to the previous day, Park Hae-min was dropped and Moon Sung-joo came in. The starting pitcher was Lee Sang-young. Lee Sang-young, who was discharged from the military on the 12th, will start two days after his discharge.
