SSG Landers needed an "ace-class" pitcher before this season, so they broke up with Roenis Elias and recruited Korean-American Mitch White.
However, White suffered damage to his hamstring, effectively failing to take the mound on the opening day of the season.
Although it is said that they will take a break for at least two weeks and then undergo another examination, it is not known when they will return.
SSG has no choice but to operate Plan B. So what I'm fiddling with is the six-week replacement card.
SSG used Japan's Keisho Shirakawa as a "short-term part-time worker" when Elias was injured last year.
It is almost impossible to find a replacement for the team's first starting pitcher until the season starts. Moreover, it is not easy to find a pitcher who can play for only six weeks.
Elias, however, could be available. Though he is older, he is not difficult to pitch in six to seven games. He has been proven and can be deployed immediately.
Elias signed with Taiwan's Fubang Guardians this season.
Elias appeared in 22 games for SSG in the 2023 season, going 8-6 with a 3.70 ERA.
However, 2024! Injuries left mid-season and ended up with only 7 wins, 7 losses and a 4.08 ERA in 22 games 카지노사이트
In the end, he failed to renew his contract.
Just like last year, SSG could seek a pitcher for the Japanese independent league. The Australian team can, too. However, we don't have much time. If it is possible to transfer, Elias seems highly likely.
