Seibu outfielder Watanabe Seiya (渡部聖弥) was diagnosed with a left orbital floor fracture, and it was announced that surgery would not be necessary. The plan is to gradually increase his training intensity while monitoring his condition.
On the 12th, Seibu announced that Watanabe Seiya (渡部聖弥), an outfielder who was removed from the registered player list on the 10th because of a “left orbital floor fracture,” had undergone another examination that day and was determined not to require surgery. There were no problems with his vision or other aspects of his condition, and he is expected to gradually increase his training intensity while his condition is monitored.
Watanabe Seiya (渡部聖弥) had started the 9th game against SoftBank at Belluna Dome as the No. 7 hitter and third baseman, but in the 3rd inning, with one out and a runner on first, a batted ball by Masaki (正木) struck him below the left eye, and he was replaced during the game.
The announcement followed the results of a follow-up examination disclosed by Seibu on the same day. The timing of his return to training and the specific schedule remain subject to a further update from the club.
Related information, including an article about the game and other news, was also reported that day, but the key points here concern Watanabe Seiya’s (渡部聖弥) diagnosis and future plans.
