Dennis Houlton to be taken off active roster

Dennis Houlton (SOF) was added to the active roster today and started today's game against the Seibu Lions but didn't have a very good start, giving up 3 runs in 2 innings of work. Seems Houlton's right adductor muscle still isn't quite right yet either.
In any case, both Houlton and Hiroki Yamada (SOF) will likely be taken off the active roster tomorrow since the Hawks don't have any plans to use either pitcher over the team's remaining 3 games. The Hawks will likely fill the two open roster spots with Yoshiaki Fujioka and a position player.

Actually, Dennis is also correct. It’s also how it’s registered with the English NPB site. Oddly, it’s registered as D.J. Houlton on the Japanese version.
And while this is just a shot in the dark, I’m guessing the D comes from Dennis and the J comes from Jr. But again, that’s just a guess.
