On the 9th, it was revealed that Orix pitcher Shumpeita Yamashita (22) may be removed from the opening rotation. During the game against The Giants on the 7th (Kyocera Dome), he complained of discomfort in his lower back and was forced to leave the game in the middle of the 4th inning. In order to prioritize recovery, it has been decided that he will take it easy and wait a certain amount of time before pitching again. On that day, Yamashita himself visited the Kyocera Dome, playing catch and strengthening his muscles at Maishima in Osaka. At this point, his injury appears to be minor, and he looked ahead, saying, "I want to do everything I can to be in top condition. I will do my best to be prepared so that I can be in good condition whenever I am asked to pitch again." His future training schedule will likely be decided based on the results of an examination he will undergo after the 10th.
