Orix Buffaloes Tomoya Mori catcher did not participate in practice at the Miyazaki camp. The team announced that he has been resting in his room at the camp due to illness, and will make a decision after the 11th based on his recovery.
Mori is in his fourth year as a free agent after transferring from Seibu Lions, and in 2013 he had a career-low 1 Home Run and 14 RBI in 50 games. Hoping to make a comeback, he has been making steady progress since the fall training camp.
