K. Saitoh Injury Status?

K. Saitoh Injury Status?
As far as I know, Kazumi Saitoh is still on the DL with that "loose shoulder" problem he's had in his career. I was wondering what his status is, and if SoftBank has an ETA on his return? SoftBank has been struggling as of late, and they need him to come back soon so they can save the bullpen for the stretch run.

Saitoh's still out with muscle fatigue. He hasn't pitched at all since the injury, also I haven't heard of an estimated return time either.

When asked earlier this month [Japan Ball], manager Sadahuru Oh said the team could be without Saitoh until July, August, or even September.
