South Korea's defending Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) champions, the LG Twins, have cut Puerto Rican reliever Yacksel Rios from their roster less than two months after signing him, the club announced Tuesday. Rios had posted a 3.63 ERA with five holds and two saves across 14 outings, averaging over 157 km/h on his fastball — the hardest of any pitcher in the league. The move comes as the Twins seek a starting pitcher to address an injury-hit rotation, with the team having slipped from first to third place following a five-game losing streak.
