According to J/R, "A lineup is an ordered listing of nine (or ten, in cases of the use of a designated hitter) players who are in the game as
lineup players... A substitute is a player eligable to play in a game."
According to the above definition, I would think that defensive players switching position would not constitute a "substitution." However, a pitcher switching defensive positions is specifically covered by 3.03.
