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?:

The player who pitches is an illegal player.
Although that term is not defined in the NFHS book, it is referred to:
See 3-4-1, 3-4-3 & PENALTY: (Art.3).

Also remember that the player the ball must become live for you to have an illegal player (see previous discussion regarding allowing illegal substitutions)
