Lotte Kazuya Ojima pitcher, who had been out of the lineup due to acute back pain, played catch ball and other activities at Hotto Motto on May 5 in preparation for his start against Orix Kyocera D on May 6.
During weight training on June 17th, he felt discomfort in his lower back, and the pain worsened afterwards. On the 18th, he was removed from the player registration list. The left-hander, starting for the first time since the game against Yakult (ZOZO) on the 14th, said with a bright expression, "I didn't think I'd be able to move that much. It was careless of me, if you like that. I feel like I've lost trust in myself, so I want to pitch well so I can get that trust back as soon as possible. I hope I can face tomorrow with a fresh mind."
In his seventh season, he was the opening pitcher for the third consecutive year, but he pitched in 11 games with two wins and five losses and ERA 3.55. In his return to the mound, he is aiming for his third win since the game against Seibu on May 23 (ZOZO).
