◆Exhibition game: Lotte vs. Seibu Lions (March 13, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

Lotte Misho Nishikawa outfielder (22) participated in practice before the Seibu Lions game (ZOZO) on March 13.

On February 10th, during the Miyakonojo training camp in Miyazaki, Nishikawa complained of discomfort in his right forearm during defense practice and went to a hospital in Miyakonojo, where he was diagnosed with a right forearm flexor muscle injury.

Speaking to reporters after practice, he said, "My injury is recovering well. I can swing the bat with full force now. I'll be moving into actual games from here on out, so I hope to produce solid results." With the season opener two weeks away, it seems he will initially be tested by playing as a pinch hitter or designated hitter.
