[Rakuten Anda Yuma]Returning to the game for the first time in 3 and a half months! “I made it with a fresh feeling.”

He started as the fifth catcher in the Eastern League Giants game (Rakuten Mobile Park) held on July 5th. He played until the fifth inning, stood in two at-bats, struck out one walk and one strikeout, and hit no hits. This is a question and answer session on the day of the game, recovering from a stress fracture of the right hook in mid-March and is now in 113 days.
