スポーツ｜WBCプエルトリコ主将の欠場 / Sports | Puerto Rico captain’s absence from the WBC

Summary

It has been officially announced that Francisco Lindor, the captain of the Puerto Rico national team, will be unable to participate in the 2026 WBC due to surgery on his right elbow.

Due to issues with his insurance contract, Lindor has been excluded from coverage for the player insurance required for the WBC, resulting in the loss of his eligibility to compete. This puts the Puerto Rico team in a challenging situation without their captain.

Chako: I can’t believe Lindor can’t participate in the WBC!
Log: Yeah, losing the captain is a huge blow to the team. It’s surprising that he can’t compete due to insurance issues.
Chako: How did that happen?
Navi: It seems that Lindor has lost his eligibility due to being excluded from player insurance coverage.

Admin’s Note

This incident has highlighted the importance of player health management and insurance in relation to the WBC. Lindor’s absence presents a tough challenge for Puerto Rico, but it also opens up opportunities for other players. I hope this leads to growth for the players and strengthens the team’s cohesion. Additionally, it is essential to establish a system that ensures smooth participation for future players in terms of insurance contracts.
