(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-she, Taipei, 1st) Taiwanese pitcher Hsu Ruo-Hsi of the Japanese professional baseball team Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks is set to return to the first team on May 4 against the Saitama Seibu Lions, after undergoing physical and mental adjustments. There's a chance he might face Taiwanese infielder Lin An-Ko again. Hsu Ruo-Hsi also said he is ready.

Hsu Ruo-Hsi's last first-team appearance was on April 17 against the Orix Buffaloes, where he pitched 1.2 innings, gave up 6 hits including 2 home runs, and allowed 7 runs. He was removed from the first-team roster the next day to undergo adjustments. According to a report by Japanese media Sponichi Annex today, Hsu Ruo-Hsi is expected to return to the first team on May 4 to face Seibu.

Hsu Ruo-Hsi stated in an interview: "I'm ready. My condition is good after resting." SoftBank pitching coach Shinji Kurano said that the reason for removing Hsu Ruo-Hsi from the first-team roster was to allow him to make proper adjustments, and "he has now refreshed both his mind and body."
