If the courtesy runner is injured or disqualified, the player for whom she is running (pitcher or catcher) may return to run the bases or a legal substitute may be entered.
If a substitute is made, it is for the pitcher or catcher. Re-entry rules must then be followed.
What I'm not sure about is if a courtesy runner leaves the game due to injury or blood rule, and later on in the game she is OK again [i.e. blood bandaged or clothing changed or sore ankle OK and was not rendered unconscious] can she still serve as a courtesy runner or even as a legal substitute?
