The Doosan Bears announced Thursday they have extended their contract with temporary injury replacement pitcher Wes Benjamin.
Benjamin agreed to a new six-week deal, which runs through July 1, at $50,000, the Bears said.
The Bears gave Benjamin his first six-week contract on April 6, asking the American left-hander to fill in for injured starter Chris Flexen.
Since 2024, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has been allowing teams to sign short-term replacements for foreign players who are sidelined for at least six weeks.
