Seibu Lions Kaima Taira pitcher will start on the 15th and (ESCON) in 11 days. Nippon-Ham

In his last appearance on the 3rd against Lotte (at ZOZO Marine Stadium), he complained of discomfort in his upper right arm and had to leave the game after the first inning. Although he had difficulty putting power into his arm due to a nervous system issue, he is now fully recovered, saying, "I can pitch without any problems. I had some time since my last appearance, so I was able to recover and train properly." So far this season, he has appeared in six games and is still maintaining a good ERA of 0.95.

The team is currently on a six-game winning streak and is aiming for its seventh consecutive win, a feat not achieved since July 2023.
