◆Open game Nippon-Ham and Yakult (23rd ES CON FIELD)
Nippon-Ham of Shun Mizutani outfielder (24) did not participate in the pre-game practice on the 23rd due to left side discomfort and came off the bench for the final open game.
Manager Shinjo said, "I think it was yesterday, he felt some discomfort while batting. The side is a pain, isn't it, so I can't push him," and gave him the time to rest as a precaution.
His participation in the opening game on the 28th (against Seibu Belluna D) is unclear. The manager said, "Let's take it easy. If he pushes himself too hard and injures himself, it will take one and a half to two months. I don't want that to happen," so it seems they are taking it easy to avoid a long absence.
