◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Orix Buffaloes (15th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)
Orix Buffaloes pitcher Hiroshi was removed from the active roster on the 15th due to a special exception for bereavement leave.
This is a new system introduced this season that allows players to re-register without having to wait the usual 10 days.
He was moved from Chunichi the active draft in the 23rd offseason, and in his third year with the club, he is 1-0 in three games so far ERA 0.00. Yasuto Takashima pitcher, who started on that day, was registered as an alternate designated player. Also, Ryusei Gonda pitcher was promoted again.
