[Tru_in_Blu]

Between this string and a newer one on when a player actually leaves the game, I'd like to touch upon the CR piece again.

A couple of replies earlier said that if the CR became injured, she could be replaced by either the player she was running for in the first place [and not affect that player's status] or a legal substitute, i.e. a pinch runner. The pinch runner would cause the pitcher or catcher for whom she is running to leave the game. Said replaced player could re-enter if that was her first time out of the game.

Now back to the courtesy runner. Since she hasn't been in the game in a capacity other than CR, I think I'm hearing that if she's OK later in the game she could be a CR again [for her original player matchup] or enter the game in any other position/batting slot as a substitute.

I guess my agita comes from the injury rule where a player cannot come back into the game [excepting if it was a blood rule issue].

Thanx for any clarity. Either ASA or NFHS.
