Professional baseball team Kiwoom Heroes foreign pitcher Rosenberg has been removed from the first-team roster due to a hip injury.
Kiwoom adjusted its first-team roster ahead of the game against the LG Twins on the 8th. Starting pitcher Jeong Hyun-woo, who was announced as the starter for that day, was registered for the first team, and Rosenberg was excluded from the first-team roster.
Rosenberg started the game against LG on the 6th and pitched 5 innings, allowing 3 hits, 3 walks, striking out 3, and giving up 1 run. The pitch count was 79, but he was replaced early. There was a reason. Rosenberg felt discomfort in his left hip and left the mound early. After the substitution, a Kiwoom official explained, "Rosenberg was replaced for player protection due to discomfort in his left hip. He is currently receiving icing treatment."
Manager Hong Won-ki mentioned Rosenberg's condition in a pre-game interview on the 7th. Rosenberg complained of hip pain after pitching in two consecutive games.
Manager Hong noted, "Today, Rosenberg did not participate in normal training and only did light conditioning. He should rest until tomorrow, and we will have to see how he is on Monday."
However, on the 8th, Kiwoom initially stated that Oh Seok-joo would be excluded from the first-team roster, but shortly after announced Rosenberg's exclusion from the first team.
Rosenberg has appeared in 14 games, recording 4 wins, 4 losses, and an earned run average of 3.23 while performing as the number one starter. Kiwoom has achieved 4 consecutive wins recently. After releasing foreign hitter Puig and replacing foreign pitcher Alcantara, the 1-3 starters have been stabilized. However, with Rosenberg's injury, concerns about the starting rotation have arisen again.
