# Taiwan CPBL baseball season updates > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/taiwan-cpbl-baseball-season-games > Updated: 2026-07-26T11:04:16.000Z. Sources: 3. Developments: 2. The CPBL’s July schedule has remained eventful. The Rakuten Monkeys kept their strong form after a 4‑2 win over the Brother Elephants, and the Taiwan Steel Eagles secured a comeback 4‑2 victory against the Wei Chuan Dragons thanks to a late two‑run double. Monkeys pitcher Lin Ziwei also earned a start win and MVP in a 2‑0 shutout. Later in the month, the Fubon Guardians made a roster move, demoting foreign pitcher Aaron Wilkerson to the minors after a 1‑4 record (5.14 ERA) and ongoing elbow issues. The decision followed a loss to the Lotte Marines, who recorded a 2‑0 win with a sixth‑inning two‑run homer by foreign pitcher Adam Walker. Rookie starter Lin Ziwai (also noted as Lin Ziwei) delivered six scoreless innings in that game. The Guardians’ shift underscores the league’s reliance on foreign arms, a strategy also highlighted by the Wei Chuan Dragons’ five‑foreigner rotation that posted an ERA+ of 136.9. These developments illustrate the CPBL’s competitive balance and clubs’ adjustments as the season progresses. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-26: Fubon Guardians demote pitcher Aaron Wilkerson to minors after winless run Aaron Wilkerson is demoted by the Fubon Guardians after a 1‑4 start; Adam Walker hits a two‑run homer for Lotte, and the Wei Chuan Dragons credit foreign pitchers for strong ERA+ this week. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/taiwan-cpbl-chen-wenjie-mvp-as-eagles-topple-wei-chuan-monkeys-win-with-lin-ziweis-shutout ### 2026-07-04: Rakuten Monkeys defeat Brother Elephants 4-2 on Chen Chen‑Wei's first‑inning homer Rakuten Monkeys beat Brother Elephants 4‑2 as Chen Chen‑Wei hit a first‑inning two‑run homer and finished with three RBIs; Lin Li earned MVP honors. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rakuten-monkeys-defeat-brother-elephants-4-2-on-chen-chenweis-firstinning-homer --- Cite as: Taiwan CPBL baseball season updates.
