Veteran Chang Chih-Hao Returns to CPBL Starting Lineup at Cleanup Spot

CTBC Brothers' veteran player Chang Chih-Hao, 38, has been activated and placed in the starting lineup for their game against the Fubon Guardians. He will bat cleanup and play right field. Chang underwent knee surgery last September and has been playing in the minor league, hitting two home runs in 12 at-bats over five games. Manager Hirano Keiichi stated that Chang's return is based on his performance in the minor league and his own physical assessment. With key sluggers currently unavailable, Hirano expects Chang to provide offensive pressure. The team's starting pitcher for the game is foreign player Nivaldo Rodriguez.
