Moving the DP on defense simply means the FLEX has left the game, but does not meet the definition of a "substitute" to which is what I was referring.

The Illegal Substitute Rule 3-4 Penalty states in part "The proper batter is considered to have lost her turn at bat."
NFHS casebook 3.4.2 Situation A covers this.
The above is based on NFHS softball rules.
