Chan Tzu-Hsien Sent to Minor League with Swollen Ankle After Foul Ball, Tseng Sung-En Returns to First Team

Central News Agency (CNA) correspondent Su Chih-Yu, Taipei, May 1st – The Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) CTBC Brothers team has recently gone three games without a win, and its key outfielder Chan Tzu-Hsien suffered a swollen ankle yesterday due to a foul ball. The team decided today to send him to the minor league for rest, and called up Tseng Sung-En to fill the roster gap. Tseng Sung-En will start as the 6th batter and left fielder.

Chan Tzu-Hsien was hit on the ankle by a foul ball in the bottom of the 5th inning of yesterday's game against the Rakuten Monkeys, and withdrew from the game in the top of the 6th. He then went to the hospital for examination. Before today's game against the TSG Hawks, the team made an adjustment, sending Chan Tzu-Hsien to the minor league and bringing Tseng Sung-En back to the first team.

Brothers manager Keiichi Hirano told the media before today's game that Chan Tzu-Hsien's ankle swelling was severe, and considering he would be unable to play for at least three days, the adjustment was made. "If it's the fastest, we certainly hope he can return after 10 days."

In addition, right fielder Li Sheng-Yu made a fielding error in the top of the 4th inning yesterday, allowing the Monkeys to score two go-ahead runs, and was subsequently substituted. Hirano Keiichi stated that he did not specifically talk to him, but believed the outfield coach had reminded Li Sheng-Yu. "They certainly know the reason for his substitution at that moment."
