Manager comes to you and tells you that his pitcher, HippHipp (original pitcher), will move to right field and SamuelsSamuels will now come in to pitch. He also tells you that JohnsonJohnson will now go into the DH spot.

Note: The DH is terminated because the pitcher moved to a defensive position, so JohnsonJohnson cannot enter the game.

If the manager only gives you those changes, the new pitcher bats in the DH spot. If he makes more than one change (not including the pitcher going to RF) then he must tell you where he is placing them in the order. This can only be done on defense.

Hipp, C.

Rule 7(2)(c)(1)

Same as previous slide except in addition to changes already given to you, the manager also tells you:

SharpSharp is moving from center to left,

KennedyKennedy is in to play center and will be hitting for CressonCresson, and

DonaldsonDonaldson is going to 2nd Base and will be hitting for SmithSmith, the left fielder.

Since the manager made at least two changes on defense, in addition to the pitcher going to right field, he must tell you who each of them are replacing in the lineup, so you can put them in the proper batting order.
