◆ Seibu Lions Pacific League: Seibu vs. Softbank Hawks (9th, Belluna Dome)

Seibu Lions Lions outfielder An-Ko Lin was removed from the active roster on the 9th due to pain in his left knee.

In his first year in Japan this season, An-Ko Lin has played in 59 games, batting .228 with 42 hit, 6 Home Run 22 RBI. The previous day, on the 8th, he started as the cleanup hitter and left fielder in the game against Softbank Hawks (at Belluna Dome), but went 0-At Bat-3 hit.

In addition, outfielder Rakuto Wakabayashi, who was traded from The Giants to Seibu Lions in July, did not appear at pre-game practice and was removed from the active roster.

In their place, Takayoshi Yamamura infielder and Tokumasa Chano outfielder were promoted to the first team. Both players had appeared in the farm team game against Oisix on the previous day, the 8th (at Hard Off Niigata), and were not present for the first team’s pre-game practice that day. It appears they were called up on short notice.
