Orix Buffaloes Hiroya Miyagi pitcher (24) began rehabilitation at the team's facility in Maishima, Osaka, on April 12. He was removed from the roster on January 10 due to an injury to the medial collateral ligament of his left elbow, and he underwent an examination at a hospital in Yokohama on January 11. On the 11th, he underwent tests at a hospital in Yokohama. On that day, he devoted himself to treatment and shared his feelings, saying, "No matter what the situation is, I want to keep moving forward and do my best.

Miyagi was injured in the middle of the 6th inning against Lotte (Kyocera D) on the 9th. "As a starter, I went down in the middle of inning, and I am frustrated that I caused trouble to Soichiro and the team (who relieved Yamazaki), and I can only feel sorry for it," he said, taking responsibility as an ace. On the 10th, he visited a hospital in Osaka City. He was diagnosed with a medial collateral ligament injury in his left elbow.

At this point, a long-term absence is unavoidable, and he will undergo further examinations while his condition is monitored. A careful decision will likely be made regarding whether to pursue conservative treatment or left elbow ligament reconstruction surgery (commonly known as Tommy John surgery).
