Kaima Taira: Suffers calf strain

Taira, who is on Japan's World Baseball Classic roster, is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a mild calf strain, the Japan Times reports.

Taira pitches for the Seibu Lions in NPB and recorded 31 saves as a reliever last season with a 1.71 ERA and 9.1 K/9. He may need to be replaced on the roster.
