Starter leaves mound with 2 outs and SS goes to mound. Next inning the starter returns to the mound and the SS back to short. Again with two outs they switch positions. I have been unable to find anything in OBR that states a pitcher can not return to the mound. Only thing I can find is that he must leave the mound if the coach visits twice in one inning. "
Thanks again!

1) The "one warmup" verbiage is in the LL rulebook. However, rule 3.08 of OBR simply says this:
3.08
If no announcement of a substitution is made, the substitute shall be considered as having entered the game when --
(1) If a pitcher, he takes his place on the pitcher’s plate
2) If he leaves because of a second visit, he's done pitching. Depending on the ruleset and the local rules, he can move to SS and then return to pitch.
