Major League Baseball Rays announced on the 29th that Yoshitomo Tsutsugo was on the list of injured due to a side reaction caused by the new coronavirus vaccine.
According to the team, Tsutsugo started the game against Athletics after being vaccinated on the 28th, and all three at-bats struck out and were replaced on the way.
The following day, on the 29th, Tsutsugo was in a bad mood, so the team announced that he was on the list of injured due to a side reaction to the vaccine.
The list of injured in Major League Baseball is usually 10 days at the shortest, but if it is on the list due to a side reaction of the vaccine, it is supposed to be able to return at any time as soon as it recovers, and Tsutsugo will return to the team in 30 days. There is a possibility.
Vaccination of players and staff is progressing in many teams in the major leagues, but Tsutsugo is the first Japanese player to be on the injured list due to a side reaction.
