[이데일리 스타in 임정우 기자] Yang Hyun-jong (33), who returned to the Major League Baseball (MLB) in the US, took a break on the first day of registration.

Yang Hyun-jong did not appear in the away game against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio on the 25th (Korean time). He was included in the 26-man entry on that day and was included in the roster, but did not get a chance to play.

The Texas team recently included a large number of minor league players with a large number of entries as Corona 19 confirmed cases and close contacts within the team came out. Yang Hyun-jong, who played in the minor league Triple A, also joined the MLB on the same day. It has been 69 days since he was removed from the roster on June 17.

The position of Yang Hyun-jong, who can play in both the starting and the bullpen, has not been decided yet. He started as a starting pitcher for the Triple-A Round Rock Express, but recently turned to the bullpen and was on the mound.

Texas beat Cleveland 7-3 that day.
