Wrong situation, Mike. 8-10-D and 8-10-F restrict the CR from being a substitute in the same half inning, or prevent the pitcher/catcher from returning to the base to run for the CR.
The exception in both cases over-rides D & F in the case of another player that is injured.
ASA does not address the issue of a CR being the injured party. If a CR is injured while on base, 8-10-F prevents the pitcher/catcher from returning to run. The coach must enter a sub for the CR, which puts the pitcher/catcher out of the game.
NFHS recognized that and added another exception in 2005 that allows for the pitcher/catcher to return and run for an injured CR. (But the coach still has the option to sub for the CR, and thus remove the pitcher/catcher - same as ASA.)

8.10.F says the pitcher or catcher cannot return while a courtesy runner is on the base. If they are injured to the point that they must leave the game, the are no longer on the base.
If the CR can enter a game for another player who is injured, there is no reason to keep a player who has not left the game on the bench.
Serg, if you remember, have me ask Bob or Kevin about this at the DC Clinic.
