◆Nippon Life Interleague Series 2026: The Giants vs. Orix Buffaloes (June 2nd, Tokyo Dome)

Orix Buffaloes ・ Tomoya Mori catcher has been removed from the active roster due to poor upper-body conditioning.

He missed the games against Chunichi Dragons on May 30th and 31st (Kyocera Dome Osaka), but accompanied the team to the game against The Giants on this day. He was seen before the warm-up.

Mori has formed a formidable pitching duo with Wakatsuki, recording a batting average of .273, 5 Home Run, and 17 RBI in 42 games so far. He has shown a significant improvement in his form, recording multiple hit in four of his last five games. Among pitcher, Miyagi and Yamashita will be out for the rest of the season due to elbow surgery. The absence of these key players in both offense and defense is a major blow for a team aiming for its first interleague championship in five years.
