It is not an appeal play by definition. An appeal play is defined in Rule 1 as (paraphrasing) a play where the umpire may not make a call until a proper appeal is made. Obviously that is not the case here. The umpire can make the call. Appeal plays are things like a missed base, batting out-of-order, leaving early on a caught fly, etc.
What you are describing is an "asking your partner for help" play. In common language of the game, you will often hear a coach or player say "I want to appeal a pulled foot" but what he really means is "Would you please check with your partner, I saw a pulled foot."
