Pacific League Nippon-Ham vs Seibu (7th, ES CON FIELD)

Nippon-Ham Go Matsumoto outfielder In the first at bat of the second inning, a 152-kilogram hit from Seibu Tatsuya Imai pitcher hit the fingers of his right hand, which gripped the bat. He went to the back of the bench for treatment, and Yazawa was announced as the substitute.

Go Matsumoto leaned back to avoid the ball that was coming near his face, but it hit his right hand, which was still holding the bat. His fingers were pinched between the bat and the ball. He crouched down in pain and went behind the bench with the trainer who rushed over. Manager Shinjo didn’t waste any time and immediately made the decision to substitute him.

Go Matsumoto was removed from the roster on June 13 due to poor performance, and after readjustment in the second team, he returned to the first team on July 29. Since his return, he has been performing well, recording three multi-hit in six games, so his condition is a cause for concern.
