He pitched on Sunday at Koshien so he'll be working in Nagoya this weekend, just a matter of when. If Lotte are working the standard 5 man rotation, he'd be a likely starter on Saturday.
It's so frustrating how the Central League still persists with not announcing probables!

This question keeps coming up, and no one has yet found a site, in English or Japanese, that contains this information.
This would be some great information for someone to gather, but it takes an effort. Here's what I would suggest:
Yes, such information would be nice to have, especially for scouts coming over to Japan. (Are all of you people asking this question scouts?) But until it's important enough for someone to track and share, I'm afraid that this information will continue to be hard to find at best. (The various team sites are already cluttered and hard to navigate. I don't envision them solving this problem for you.)
So, no, nobody is currently providing this information (to my knowledge). But there are several people looking for this information (as I get asked this fairly frequently - about once a month). So, is there anyone willing to take this problem and do something about it? If so, what resources could I provide to help?
This would be some great information for someone to gather, but it takes an effort. Here's what I would suggest:
- Go to Borisov's Pro Yakyu site daily and make note of the starting pitcher each day.
- Look for a 5 or 6 man rotation in the gathered list of starters for each team.
- Post results.

Here is a list of every Central League starting pitcher, as obtained from the Starting Member Database.

Yeah, I keep thinking this should be made into a FAQ somehow.
The answer being:
Central League: Doesn't announce starters.
Pacific League: Announces them here: Pacific League Starting Pitchers
(So at least people would have that link.)

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

The Marines are coming to Nagoya this weekend, and I'd love to see Shunsuke Watanabe pitch (mostly for the novelty). However I'm not up on my Marines' pitching rotation, and cannot figure out what day he's scheduled to start! Can you help?
