LG Twins' first foreign player Yoni Chirinos will take a two-week long break.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes in Jamsil on the 8th that `Chirinos forced a break on the 15th.'

Chirinos allowed four hits, two walks, two strikeouts and four runs (two earned runs) in five ⅓ innings against the Daegu Samsung Lions on the 5th, his last appearance in the first half. He only allowed him to get on base with an error until the fourth inning, but suddenly allowed two runs with three hits and two walks in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 3-0 lead, and in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 3-2 lead, he handed over the mound to Kim Jin-sung in a crisis of second and third base with a one-out error and a double. Kim Jin-sung later gave up a walk and allowed a sweeping double after two outs, leading to a 3-5, upset. It was on the verge of losing, but the losing pitcher was avoided as it was tied 5-5.




He was 7-4 with a 3.48 ERA in 18 games in the first half. He got off to a good start with 4-1 record and 1.67 ERA in seven games through April, but he got worse with 2-1 record and 4.50 ERA in five games in May, and worse with 1-2 record and 5.20 ERA in five games in June.

Coach Yeom tried to take out one start at the end of May considering Chirinos' physical strength, but he took the mound in a week because he refused, and he didn't skip the rotation afterwards, but as a result, it was not good.

Coach Yeom's use of the expression "Forced" while giving Chirinos a break this time can be interpreted as meaning that Chirinos refused to take a long break again, but were forced to take a break.




It can be said that physical strength is essential for Korea's summer, when the heat wave warning is already raised, and considering Chirinos, who recently threw well but showed his physical strength falling from about the fifth inning, he decided that he needed a clear rest.

Yeom said, `I think the Chirinos will take a two-week break, and the starting rotation in the second half will be arranged so that the pitchers who took a break in the middle can go ahead and the players who need to rest can go behind.'

Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young recently took a break from the selection, while Eliaser Hernandez took six weeks off due to injury. Song Seung-ki was a fifth starter, so his starting turn was delayed, but he was canceled from the first team and never skipped the game.




According to manager Yeom's hint, Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young and Hernandez Song Seung-ki can be expected to appear in the fourth consecutive game of the second half against the Lotte Giants starting on the 17th, and Chirinos are expected to take the mound against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju on the 22nd.

Manager Yeom said of the bullpen, `In terms of the number of innings, there are no players other than Kim Jin-sung who is unreasonable. I think you just need to take good care of Kim Jin Sung"
