◆ Pacific League Rakuten Eagles: Nippon-Ham (April 4th, Rakuten Eagles Mobile is the strongest team)

Rakuten Eagles Eagles pitcher Chiharu Tanaka (25) joined the first team on the 4th.

So far this season, Tanaka has appeared in 11 games as a relief pitcher, with a record of 0 wins and 2 losses and ERA of 3.00. When he was removed from the active roster on April 24, manager Miki explained the reason, saying, "There were many games that we won thanks to his efforts, and considering the experience and burden of pitching in the first team, we wanted him to spend some time in the farm system to recover. We hope he will have a good time and come back when he's ready."

After being removed from the roster, he pitched in two games in the minor leagues. In both games, closer one runs inning, making a strong case for being recalled to the main roster.
