]There is a situation in which the LG Twins could put in three foreign pitchers next week.메이저놀이터
It happened when Eliaser Hernandez, who had been out for six weeks due to a thigh injury, returned.
Hernandez's return is just around the corner. Hernandez, who pitched two innings in a Futures League game against the NC Dinos in Icheon on the 20th, is scheduled to start against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 30th.
In the meantime, Koen Win, a foreign pitcher who has replaced Hernandez, will pitch after completing the contract period. His contract runs through April 29, and he will play his last game in the match against Hanwha in Jamsil on April 28.
And Chirinos, the first starter, also decided to take the mound against Samsung on the 31st, so three foreign pitchers will take the mound a week.
This happened because of the short-term substitute foreign player system. He explained that there is no problem as he takes the mound in time for the contract period of the KBO contract.
Chirinos was scheduled to rest next week after taking the mound against Incheon SSG Landers on Monday. "Chirinos was not very good in his last two appearances, had surgery experience, and had never pitched more than 150 innings, so we need to give him a few more days off when he has time to take care of him," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said on Tuesday.
Yeom also plans to have Chirinos take the mound at a game against the NC Dinos in Changwon on June 3. Given the rotation, it will be Koen Win's turn on the day.
In other words, as Hernandez entered the match against Samsung on the 30th, the day of Chirinos' appearance next week, and Chirinos entered Koen Win's position, the rotation of five starters was naturally arranged.
After the interview with reporters, however, Yeom immediately corrected the situation after talking with his pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam. "Chirinos said that if he rests for a long time, his body will become firm, and he doesn't want to take a long break," Yeom said. "I decided to play next Saturday (31st)."
Therefore, Lim Chan-kyu, Koen Win and Son Joo-young will play in the three consecutive games during the week against Hanwha, and Hernandez, Chirinos and Song Seung-ki will take the mound in the three consecutive games against Samsung on the weekend.
