Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Yonny Chirinos returned from a 23-day absence due to elbow pain on May 9, 2026, but had a disappointing return performance. In 3⅔ innings, he allowed 4 earned runs on 4 hits (including 1 home run), 4 walks, and 1 hit-by-pitch while recording 4 strikeouts. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop specifically cited control issues, noting that the two walks were problematic. Chirinos was strong through the first two innings but struggled in the third inning, giving up a two-run homer to Yonatan Peraza, and continued to struggle with command in the fourth inning. This was his third loss of the season.
