2 part question.
Pitcher is injured temporarily and cannot continue in bottom of first inning. I understand as per new rule the courtesy runner used for her now become a sub.
Can the player originally listed as the starting pitcher re-enter the game at a future time in the position of pitcher?
Question # 2.
If pitcher is just plain old taken out of the game in the bottom of the 1st and does not pitch to at least 1 batter what penalty is assessed?:

Part 1 is yes.
Part 2 answered above.
Andy and Dave are correct.
I believe illness would be treated the same as injury, but not in writing anywhere I've seen.
