#8 did do something wrong (or his coach did not recognize it). He stayed in the game when he should have left. DH goes in on defense, he goes out.

From the OP
#25 is batting 8th and playing left field.
#22 is batting 9th and hitting for the catcher #8.
Home coach comes to us as the teams are changing in the middle of the 5th and says, "I messed up. #25 got sick and I sent #22 to left
#8 did NOTHING wrong.
Let's put it another way.
FORGET about the mix-up in the original OP.
As the HT is taking the field in the top of 6, skip comes to you and says
"Blue I am replacing #25 with Number 22"
Now since you have the line-up card and start to mark the change you will notice that #22 is the DH and batting for #8 and therefore will say
'Skip no can do"
Meaning #22 is ILLEGAL.
Therefore, when #22 plays defense for the left fielder #22 is the ILLEGAL sub NOT number 8.
