The Yomiuri Giants have ended the interleague season and are eager to return to extending their dominance of the Central League.
Pitcher Marc Kroon, meanwhile, just wants to lend a helping hand.
The Giants' regular closer, Kroon has been sidelined since tearing a tendon in his non-pitching hand during the ninth inning of a 3-2 victory over the Hokkaido Ham Fighters on June 6.
