Kiwoom's Replacement Pitcher Rosenberg Dropped from Roster Due to Thigh Injury

Kiwoom Heroes foreign pitcher Kenny Rosenberg has been sidelined due to a thigh injury.
The Kiwoom club removed Rosenberg from the first-team roster today (June 22).
He first entered the KBO League as a foreign pitcher for Kiwoom last season, recording 4 wins and 4 losses with a 3.23 ERA in 13 games before leaving the league due to a pelvic injury.
This season, he signed a six-week short-term contract with Kiwoom as a replacement for the injured Nathan Witt, and has been playing after extending his contract once.
Rosenberg's record for this season is 2 losses with a 4.80 ERA in 7 games.
During the game against the Lotte Giants at Gocheok on June 20, he showed a significant drop in pitching velocity from the beginning of the game and left the mound after allowing 3 runs on 5 hits in 3 innings.
Concerns were raised as he felt discomfort near his pelvis, the same area where he was injured last year.
The Kiwoom club stated, "Medical examinations revealed a partial tear of the left rectus femoris muscle. He will be removed from the first-team roster to rest and monitor his condition."
The club added, "It has been confirmed that this is unrelated to the left pelvic injury (femoroacetabular impingement due to femoral head osteophytes) diagnosed last year."
Meanwhile, the Doosan Bears have removed Yang Suk-hwan from the first-team roster again after he went hitless in 9 at-bats during the weekend three-game series against the LG Twins.
Yang, who was dropped from the first team on May 4 and returned on June 18, is heading back to the second team after playing in just 4 games.
NC Dinos outfielder Park Si-won and Samsung Lions infielder Kim Jae-sang were also removed from the first-team roster today, a day with no scheduled games.
