Softbank outfielder Ukyo Shuto was absent. He was practicing before the game, but stopped batting practice. He was not in starting line-up and did not play.

After the game, he revealed that he had hurt his back after being hit by Hit by Pitch in the game against Nippon-Ham on the 18th, explaining, “It felt strange when I hit the ball. I was fine hitting off a tee, but when I swung hard it felt strange. I couldn’t swing. I thought I couldn’t play in today’s game.” He continued, “I’ll come back tomorrow and see how it goes. I hope I can move,” but manager Kokubo said immediately after the game, “I’ll give you a report from now,” and prepared himself for “it might be a little tough tomorrow.”
