LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the match against Lotte in Busan on the 20th that he will return on the 30th after the six-week injury period due to good treatment and rehabilitation" he said.
Hernandez pitched a hitless and scoreless 6 innings against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on April 15, but came down from the mound due to thigh pain, and the examination found that his thigh muscles were slightly torn. It took six weeks to return, and LG quickly recruited Coen Win from Australia to fill the position.
Hernandez took the mound in a Futures League game against the NC Dinos in Icheon on the 20th and played his first real game since his injury. He threw 39 pitches in two innings, allowing two hits, three strikeouts, and one run. He sprayed 24 fastballs of up to 150km, and checked his condition by throwing eight sliders, five curves, and one each for two-seam and change-up. After one more start in the Futures League, he will play against Samsung on the 30th.
This also confirmed his separation from Coen Win. Coen Win, who came as a short-term substitute for Hernandez, has one win and a 4.60 ERA in three games. He will take the mound for the fourth time against Lotte in Busan on the 22nd and will have a farewell match against Hanwha in Jamsil on the 28th if it is on rotation Boulevard. For Coen Win, the remaining two games have become important. I think it's because I've set my goal to play in Korea next season as an Asian quarter, so it's good to perform well.
Koen Win became the winning pitcher with a quality start of five hits (one homer) and two strikeouts and three runs in six innings against Jamsil SSG on the 4th, but he allowed seven hits (two homers) and three strikeouts and four runs in five innings against Daegu Samsung on the 11th, and three hits, two walks, two strikeouts and one run in four ⅔ innings against Jamsil KT on the 17th.
It was good in the beginning, but it was a shame at the end. In the match against Samsung, he continued his good pitching by allowing four hits and one run until the fifth inning, then gave up three runs on consecutive home runs following a double as soon as he started in the bottom of the sixth inning, allowing a 4-4 tie and going down the mound. In the match against KT, he blocked three hits and no runs until the fourth inning, then suddenly pushed two hit balls and two walks in the top of the fifth inning and was replaced with a two-out bases loaded with two outs.
Since Coen Win has not been confirmed as LG's Asian quarter next season, Coen Win has to show his competitiveness until the end.
As Hernandez's return match was decided, LG's starting rotation schedule for next week was also outlined to some extent. With Koen Win's farewell match against Hanwha on the 28th and Hernandez's comeback match against Samsung on the 30th, Yonny Chirinos, who has been the first starter, will be able to rest. Coach Yeom said he will give Chirinos a few days off when Hernandez returns. Chirinos will naturally be given a break as the 30th is scheduled to be the day of Chirinos' appearance.
