During last night's 7-6 loss against the Rakuten Monkeys, 3B Chiang Chih-Hsien was injured sliding back into second base and replaced with a pinch-runner. His injury will deal a significant blow to the Guardians' lineup. Chiang is hitting .353/.378/.624 with 6 home runs and 16 RBIs. The reason behind his demotion is most likely for rehabilitation purposes.

SP Chen Shih-Peng gave up 6 runs and 10 hits in 3.1 innings in his last outing against the Chinatrust Brothers on Thursday. On the season, he carries a 2-2 record with a 5.53 ERA along with 21 strikeouts in 27.1 innings, spanning 5 games (all starts).

SP Mike Loree (Collarbone) has been the mark of excellence in terms of foreign pitchers in the CPBL. Very few pitchers have had sustained success for as long as he had. He will return after pitching in two rehab games spanning 8 innings with an ERA of 9.00. He struck out 7 over 4 shutout innings in his first rehab start against the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions farm team. However, he gave up 8 runs on 12 hits in his second start, also lasting 4 innings, against the Chinatrust Brothers farm team. Loree is set to face the Rakuten Monkeys tomorrow, opposing Lisalverto Bonilla.

UTIL Yu Sen-Hsu is a light-hitting utility player. In 2020, he is hitting a paltry .167/.167/.333 over 6 plate appearances in 3 games. Yu is a career .252/.305/.329 hitter over five seasons with Fubon/EDA.
