Professional baseball Lotte announced last year that pitcher Ayumu Ishikawa, who was the opening pitcher, had a right elbow cleaning operation.
It is expected that he will be cured for 3 to 4 months, and it will be difficult to return during this season.
On May 24, pitcher Ishikawa complained of discomfort in his right elbow and was deregistered as a player in the 1st Army.
And the team announced that pitcher Ishikawa had a surgery to clean his right elbow joint at a hospital in Yokohama on the 3rd.
It is expected to be 3 to 4 months after the cure, and the throwing will start 1 to 2 months after the operation, so it was difficult to return during this season.
33-year-old pitcher Ishikawa was delayed for the eighth year this season due to poor conditions, so his first pitch was delayed on April 13, and he has pitched 2 wins and 2 losses in 6 games so far, with an earned run average of 5.08.
Pitcher Ishikawa won 10 wins in the first year and became the rookie king, and in the third year he won the title with the highest ERA.
He has been the starting pitcher for the team, having served as the opening pitcher for the second consecutive year, and has won a total of 65 wins.
