Tetsuto Yamada, who had been out of the battlefield after being infected with the new coronavirus in professional baseball Yakult, has returned to the 1st Army for the first time in two weeks.
In Yakult, infection with the new coronavirus was confirmed one after another in the team from the beginning of July, and Yamada was deregistered as a player in the 1st Army on July 10.
According to Yamada, he had symptoms such as fever and sore throat for several days, but he recovered and joined the team on July 19 to continue making adjustments.
And on the 24th, Yamada was registered as a participant in the 1st Army for the first time in 2 weeks.
Yakult, who runs the lead in the Central League, has been struggling with 2 wins and 7 losses since Yamada's departure, and it is important to see if Yamada, who will be in charge of the center pole, will be able to regain momentum.
Yamada said, "While I was away, I continued training at home and watched the team's games all the time. I have to get results when I come back because of the inconvenience."
