(LEAD) Pitcher Go Woo-suk reunites with ex-KBO team after short MLB stint

Pitcher Go Woo-suk, a free agent, is set to return to his former Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) team, the LG Twins, after a brief stint in Major League Baseball (MLB). The 28-year-old pitcher, who was recently designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins, will likely sign his deal with the LG Twins before the end of the day.

Go was with the Minnesota Twins from July 9 until mid-August, during which he posted a 9.00 ERA in four innings, earning just 139 saves in his career with the LG Twins. The LG Twins, who won the 2025 Korean Series, are currently fourth in the postseason race with a record of 64-51-1, but their pitching staff has been affected by injuries, with their relievers having the fifth-best ERA at 5.16.

Go's return will provide an immediate boost to the Twins' bullpen, but he will not be eligible to pitch in the postseason as he must be on an active roster by July 31.
