Rakuten Eagles pitcher Takahisa Hayakawa joined the first team on the 7th. Due to surgery on his left shoulder last September, he started the season in the minor leagues, but he has been steadily adjusting, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss and ERA of 1.74 in 3 games in the minor leagues.
On the 6th, first-round draft pick Fujiwara (Hanazono University) was removed from the active roster, and he is expected to start in the game Orix Buffaloes on the 12th (Rakuten Eagles Mobile).
The left-handed pitcher had a dismal record of 2 wins and 8 losses last season. He's now signaling his complete comeback.
