The Doosan Bears are considering an extension contract with the `alternative foreign player' Shirakawa Keisho.
Doosan will play the first game of the weekday series against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 13th.
Brandon was placed on the injured list on June 28 with a partial injury to his left lower scapular muscle. However, the return has rarely been made. He prepared to return by pitching his first bullpen on the 3rd, but his return schedule was suspended due to complaints of shoulder pain again. There is also a concern that the injury may be prolonged.
"Brandon's injury is currently in a lull," Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said during the game. First of all, I think it will be difficult to throw the ball until this week." "The timing of (Brandon's) return is also completely unpredictable at this time."
For Doosan, we can't just stare at Brandon. The contract between Shirakawa and Doosan will end on the 20th. Manager Lee Seung-yeop added that `Shirakawa and the club will soon talk about whether to extend the contract.'

If he signs an extension with Shirakawa, Doosan can use him until the end of the regular season. However, it is not possible to play in the postseason. This is because Doosan has already consumed all two foreign player replacement cards. Alcantara and Ramos were kicked out, and Valazovic and Jarrod Young were recruited.
Therefore, even if Brandon rarely returns, it is impossible to 'replace' Shirakawa as an official player. It is the best scenario for Doosan to play the regular season as much as possible with Shirakawa to raise his performance, and then Brandon returns healthy and throws it.

The intention of Shirakawa, who is knocking on the challenge of the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), is also important. Will Doosan be able to continue its company with Shirakawa.
Doosan will play as a lineup of Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Kang Seung-ho (second base), Jarod (right wing), Yang Eui-ji (possess), Yang Seok-hwan (first base), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Heo Kyung-min (third base), Jeon Min-jae (striker), and Lee Yoo-chan (left wing). The starter is Balazovic.
