The Fielder Runs For His DH

[Guest R. Duke]

It is my understanding that if the fielder runs for his DH who reached base then this is not 

considered a substitution for the fielder, yes/no?  Of course the DH is dead and he has 

reentry rights but but when the fielder ran for him does this count as the DH being

"subbed out"?

Thanks

Assuming you are talking about FED, the DH has left the game and can reenter once. The defensive player has not left the game and still can be subbed for by another player or the DH and still has one reentry.

"Rule: 3.1.4


3.1.4 SITUATION C: 

F4, for whom the DH is batting, pinch hits or pinch runs for the DH. 

RULING: The DH position is eliminated for the remainder of the game. However, the starting DH could re-enter as a player but not in the role of DH. If he does re-enter, he must re-enter in the same position in the batting order, replacing F4."
