On the 14th, Orix Buffaloes announced that catcher Yuma Tongu (29) had left the Miyazaki training camp on the 13th and returned to Osaka. He hit the team's first home run near the left field pole in the Red-White game on the 11th, but developed discomfort behind his right knee while rounding first base. Regarding first baseman, who recorded the team's top 54 RBI last season, manager Kishida explained, "He said he'll undergo a proper examination on the 17th, so it will depend on that. I can't say anything at this point."

On that day, Yuma Mune infielder (29) was diagnosed with the flu at a hospital in Miyazaki and stayed in his room at the dormitory. Kotaro Kobayashi infielder (24) also complained of feeling sick, left practice early, and was diagnosed with the flu.
