Unreported substitute

If B10 is subbing in for B1 but is unreported and the defense appeals while they are at bat, what is the penalty? The ASA rulebook doesn't mention this scenario in Rule 4.6.C.

My guess is that B10 is disqualified, all play stands (outs, runners advanced), and B1 should assume the ball/strike count. What if B1 has exhausted her re-entries and thus is ineligible to return? B10 is replaced by a valid sub, correct? What if they don't have a valid sub? I would guess we have an out. Is my thinking on this correct?

Thanks!
