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

Note The DH is terminated because the pitcher
moved to a defensive position, so Johnson cannot
enter the game.
Hipp, C.
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.
