CPBL: Brothers Score Big But Suffer Injury Scare as Chen Chun-Hsiu Exits Early; Team Updates Status

The CTBC Brothers experienced a mixed bag of fortune during their game against the Uni-Lions, as a significant offensive inning was marred by an injury to key player Chen Chun-Hsiu.

In the second inning, after Uni-Lions pitcher Chiang Kai-Ching was replaced by Hu Chih-Wei, the Brothers capitalized, scoring five runs in a single frame. However, the momentum was interrupted when Chen Chun-Hsiu was struck by a pitch from Hu Chih-Wei. He was forced to leave the game before the bottom of the third inning, with Huang Wei-Sheng taking over at first base.

Following the incident, the CTBC Brothers organization provided an update on Chen's condition. "Chen Chun-Hsiu was hit by a pitch on the inner side of his right elbow joint during the second inning," the team stated. "Initial assessment indicates that his range of motion is limited due to swelling. He is currently icing the area and his condition is being continuously monitored."
