◆Pre-season game Softbank Hawks and Yakult (3rd, Mizuho PayPay)

Softbank Hawks pitcher Yugo Maeda will miss his scheduled start against Yakult Swallows on the 3rd (at Mizuho PayPay Dome) due to feeling unwell.

The third-year left-hander gave up seven hit and six runs in the second inning of the send-off game against Samurai Japan (Sunmarine) on February 29th, and was taken out of the game. The opening home exhibition game was supposed to be an opportunity for him to show his ability in the opening rotation.

Taiga Kamichatani pitcher start in his place.
