Orix Buffaloes catcher Yuma Tongu (29) withdrew from training at the Miyazaki camp on the 12th. He hit the team's first home run to the left field pole in the Red-White game on the 11th, but developed discomfort behind his right knee while rounding first base. As a precaution, he underwent an examination at a hospital. He will have a day off on the 13th, and will likely follow a different training regimen from the 14th onwards to monitor his condition. Appearing at the stadium, Tonmiya explained his condition in a positive manner, saying, "I felt a bit of discomfort (behind my knee), like it had gone out. I hope to train different parts of the body and make up for it there." He had the same experience in 2021, and said, "It doesn't feel like it's bad at all. I'll definitely do it," looking forward to a speedy return.
