◆Exhibition game: DeNA vs. Softbank Hawks (March 14, Yokohama)

Softbank Hawks Yuki Yanagita outfielder (37) missed the game against DeNA on March 14 due to a recurrence of neck tightness. Yanagida showed up to the game but did not take part in hitting practice and went to a separate menu. Yanagida also complained of a strained neck on February 23 during the Miyazaki training camp, and he was not able to take part in the Taiwan tour from February 24 to 27. Manager Kokubo said, "There is no need to force him to play in the game. He will probably have to deal with the neck strain for a while. ground
