The Wei Chuan Dragons made roster adjustments today, calling up Chen Yu-hsun and Chang Chun-shou. Regarding Giljegiljaw Kungkuan, who has started playing in the minor leagues, manager Yeh Chun-chang revealed that the key is whether he dares to sprint at full speed. "As long as he can let go and give his all, he can come up tomorrow." The Dragons sent Tseng Jen-ho and Lin Hsin-chieh to the minors yesterday and called up two pitchers today to fill the gaps. Giljegiljaw Kungkuan was sent to the minors in April due to a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He returned to minor league play yesterday, going 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch, and went 1-for-3 with a double today. Manager Yeh said he confirmed with minor league manager Liu Jung-hua that Kungkuan is still hesitant about sprinting. "He still has a protective mindset, but once he can run and slide normally, he can be called up immediately." Additionally, Kuo Tien-hsin was initially not in the starting lineup due to slight discomfort, but after pre-game practice, he was placed back in as the starting center fielder, batting 9th to reduce his burden.
