Orix Buffaloes outfielder Yutaro Sugimoto has been removed from the active roster. He was called up for the first time on May 26 against the DeNA BayStars (Yokohama) after suffering from knee pain in both knees, and has played in 15 games so far with a batting average of .128, 0 Home Run, and 5 RBI. In the game against Softbank Hawks Hawks on the 25th (Mizuho PayPay Dome), where he batted fourth for the first time this season, he hit sacrifice fly but went hit in 4 At Bat-bats.

After wrapping up their interleague series, the team lost two consecutive series against the Seibu Lions and Softbank Hawks. They have slipped to fourth place, with fifth-place Lotte closing in to within 2.5 games. Sugimoto, who has the potential to hit home runs, is an indispensable asset.Although he is on the verge of reaching 100 career home runs Home Run, Manager Mamoru Kishida has made a major decision. Additionally, Seiya Yokoyama infielder have been sent down to the farm team for readjustment. Starting on the 27th, a two-game series Rakuten Eagles is scheduled at Hotto Motto Kobe.
