Not if he gets this 3rd out.

I'd think if he does he's out for the next tho.

Following on Gameday - have no idea what is happening?

A mid-at-bat batter substitution and a pitcher substitution at the same time?

Unless he ends the inning.

Kiermaier tweaked an injury, left. Hyde decided to change pitchers then.

[SteveA]

Good job getting out of that mess.   Both teams have left a lot of guys on.

[Yossarian]

interesting.  

[mrbig1]

Oh baby, that could have been a 1000 times worse.

If he couldn't have gotten the out, he would have had to face three batters in the 5th.

NOW -- he can be replaced to start next inning.   But if he DOES come out to pitch, he has to face 2 batters.   That's a little facet of the rule that I didn't learn until after the season started.

Kiermaier hurt his foot swinging, somehow.
