Tatsunori Hara told reporters after today's practice game against the Hanshin Tigers that things weren't looking good with Shinnosuke Abe's right calf.  Said Hara, "It is by no means, a minor injury.  If this were about being ready by opening day, I'd say that might be a little difficult."

When reporters asked if it might be a tear in the muscle, Hara avoided answering the question by saying that he thought the club would be making some sort of an announcement.

Abe did not attend practices today and instead rested at his home.
