Seiya Suzuki of the Cubs, a major league baseball player who has left the battlefield due to a sprained ring finger on his left hand, joined the team on the 28th to practice batting and hit a sharp hit from the main pitcher.
We are planning to return to the actual battle in the minor league under the umbrella as early as 30th.
When Suzuki stole the base in the Reds game on May 26, he stabbed the finger of his left hand into the base and was replaced on the way. It has entered.
After that, I tried to recover the affected area and moved to a camp facility in Arizona from June 20th to resume batting practice, but on June 28th I joined the team in my hometown Chicago and participated in the practice.
Suzuki practiced batting in a real-life style against the team's main pitcher, and although the missed swing was conspicuous, there were also scenes where he missed a dynamic full swing and a sharp hit, and he made progress toward his return. It seemed to be.
Cubs coach Ross said, "It looked really good. I'll practice at home tomorrow, but if my fingers are in good shape, I'm thinking of leaving Chicago to stand at bat," he said on the 30th. Also announced that it plans to return to the actual battle in the minor league under its umbrella.
Suzuki said, "In today's practice, I was checking what the condition of my fingers would be after hitting the ball. I don't have any pain in my fingers anymore, but I think it's what happens when I do it unconsciously without thinking about anything in the game. I have a bad intuition about the game, and when I play the game, my body tension is different, so I want to get used to it. "

Other players of Carp. It's very inspiring for us, and I think it's a great plus for the team, "he said.
