I think making a faux lineup helps...

Davis reaches base and James PR for him, lineup card now looks like this, James must bat in the 4 spot as he is running for his DH who batted there. Notice only 9 players as DH has been eliminated for remainder of game. Davis is a starter that has now left for the first time and James who he was batting for is still in the game as the starting pitcher.
  1. Able 3
  2. Bruce 6
  3. Charles 7
  4. James 1 (PR for DH Davis)
  5. Eugene 8
  6. Frank 2
  7. George 5
  8. Henry 9
  9. Iban 4
Davis now reenters for the first time but now must play defense too and still has to bat in the 4 spot. He replaces James in the lineup and is inserted as the first basemen and Able moves to pitch. James has now left for the first time from his position as a starting pitcher and retains reentry rights.

  1. Able 1
  2. Bruce 6
  3. Charles 7
  4. Davis 3
  5. Eugene 8
  6. Frank 2
  7. George 5
  8. Henry 9
  9. Iban 4
James now reenters, as pitcher moving Able back to first, and must do so for Davis in the 4 spot. Davis is now done for the day as he has exited a second time.
  1. Able 3
  2. Bruce 6
  3. Charles 7
  4. James 1
  5. Eugene 8
  6. Frank 2
  7. George 5
  8. Henry 9
  9. Iban 4
Does this help anyone understand that wasn't to clear?
