It's like any new batter coming up to bat. You don't have to announce it till they do come up.

Our discussion here focused on what if you started with a P/DH and then had a replacement DH who was ejected.  You can't put the P back in offensively, so you don't have 9 in the lineup and need a DH immediately.  (There's some other test question that deals with what to do if you don't have 9 -- and it's an immediate forfeit)

 

Maybe just reading more into the play than is given.

that questions is talking about if you have no available subs.  This is completely different.  If you run a catcher after bitching about strike 3 at bat they replace him the next half inning on defense or when his spot comes up in the line up.  This isn't that hard of a question guys.

It had to do with an injured F4 and there were no available eligible substitutes - immediate forfeit.

I know this is in college section but had the same exact question in my FED test and got it right.
