Lotte announced on the 5th that Gregory Polanco had returned to the UK temporarily that day for the birth of a child in his family.

Polanco had been removed from the first-team roster on the same day due to a special leave of absence for celebratory or bereavement reasons. Polanco has played in 46 games so far this season, with a batting average of .209, Home Run, and 12 RBI.

Furthermore, Tsuyoshi Yamasaki, who was registered as a player today, has been promoted to the first team since his transfer, as a replacement for Polanco.
