Brothers demote top draft pick Hsu Ting-lun, recall minor league's dual leader Tseng Sung-en

The CTBC Brothers have made a significant roster move, demoting their highly touted first-round draft pick, Hsu Ting-lun, to the team's minor league roster. This marks the first time the young infielder has been sent down from the top team this season.

In Hsu Ting-lun's place, the Brothers have recalled Tseng Sung-en. Tseng had been in the minor league since May 8 but has since impressed with his performance. He currently leads the minor league in both home runs, with six, and runs batted in, with 22, earning him the nickname "double crown king" in the farm system.

Tseng's recall comes as Hsu Ting-lun has struggled in his major league debut. The top draft pick has played in 36 games, hitting one home run and driving in 10 runs, but his batting average stands at a modest .179 with an overall on-base plus slugging (OPS) of .557. Tseng, meanwhile, has appeared in 16 major league games this season, recording 8 hits in 47 at-bats but failing to hit a home run, with a dismal OPS+ of 41.
