Cincinnati Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama returned to spring training

GOODYEAR, Arizona – Last week, Akaya Akiyama, the wife of Cincinnati Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama, was walking in Sharon Woods in Cincinnati when a tree fell on top of her. 

Akaya suffered serious injuries, and Shogo left Reds Spring Training, spending most of the week with his wife in the hospital in Cincinnati.

Shogo returned to Goodyear seven days later, and he said his wife is doing better.

“I was in the hospital with her, I was spending time with (the) kids,” Akiyama said through team interpreter Luke Shinoda. “I think it was the inevitable time that I needed with this week away.”

Akiyama says he’s ready to play in games, but manager David Bell will likely give Akiyama until Sunday to get re-acclimated.
