2. In the same inning, the manager requests time and, from the dugout, instructs the left fielder and pitcher to swap positions. He's making a pitching change.
Can the original pitcher ever return to the mound?

From J/R:
[It is a trip if a manager (or his coach)]
(e) substitutes a pitcher without a conference.
