Orix Buffaloes ・ It was decided on the 21st that Ryuhei Sotani pitcher (25) will not start in the three-game series against the Softbank Hawks (Mizuho PayPay) beginning on the 23rd. The team’s policy is to prioritize his conditioning so he can prepare for his next start in the best possible condition. Fellow left-handed starter Tajima has joined the team.

In his fourth professional season, he has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses with ERA of 3.08 in 8 games. In the game against Yakult Swallows on the 10th (at Kyocera Dome), he threw a career-high 125 pitches and complete game win, allowing 4 runs in 9 innings. He was removed from the active roster the following day, the 11th.
