(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, 1st) Fubon Guardians pitcher Shih Tzu-lin was sent to the minor league on April 30. Pitching coach Hsu Ming-chieh stated that due to frequent appearances, his arm was somewhat fatigued, so he was sent down to rest. As for foreign pitcher Aaron Wilkerson, his elbow is slightly inflamed, and the team is still awaiting an evaluation report from the athletic trainer.
Guardians pitcher Shih Tzu-lin made a relief appearance on April 28, pitching 1 inning and getting three outs without giving up any runs. On April 30, he was sent to the minor league. Coach Hsu Ming-chieh explained that the team had set goals for Shih Tzu-lin this year, and his recent appearances were more frequent, causing some arm fatigue. After evaluation, Shih Tzu-lin was sent to the minor league to rest first. After resting, he will also be arranged to play in the minor league and will return to the first team when he is ready.
Shih Tzu-lin started the season in the first team. So far this season, he has made 7 appearances in the first team, pitching a total of 8.2 innings and giving up 2 earned runs. He has 1 hold and has performed well.
