Song Seung-ki, the LG Twins' fifth starter, is also taking a break.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said that the starting rotation has been partially changed ahead of the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears match in Jamsil on the 25th.

In order, Hernandez, Lim Chan-kyu and Song Seung-ki will play in the three consecutive games on the weekend. Song Seung-ki is expected to come out on August 2 after replacing him on the 27th.




Song is spending his first full time in the first team this year. He pitched 99 innings in 18 games with an 8-5 record with a 3.27 ERA. He is seventh in innings among Korean players.

Song Seung-ki virtually reserved the most innings of his career. Song Seung-ki pitched 104 ⅔ innings in the Futures League as a member of Sangmu in 2024.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Song Seung-gi had a meeting today (25th) and decided to take it out on Sunday. He took a break from the All-Star break, but decided this week that going into Tuesday and Sunday would make it less worth the break", he explained.




Then "I already threw it all last year's inning. You have to put up with it once to get to the end. I discussed with the training part. Sunday is a substitute selection. Song takes 10 days off. I don't have any problems now, but I thought it would be better to take a break in advance considering the background."

Song Seung-ki threw against Kiwoom on the 10th, the last game of the first half. And he came out against KIA on the 22nd. If he takes a four-day break here and plays again against Doosan on the 27th, the previous 11th break will be less meaningful.

Choi Chae-heung is the No. 1 candidate for alternative selection. If it's not possible, we can change the direction to bullpen day.




Meanwhile, foreign pitcher Chirinos will keep his rotation on the next five days.
