This case is not identical, but the principle is the same.

I disagree. This isn't a projected substitution... it IS a substitution. The coach removed the catcher from the game and placed another player in his roster spot. I could be wrong, but the new player is now the catcher.
If the coach came and said "I'm subbing my catcher, but #12 will be the catcher next inning. I want to use a CR for #12," I wouldn't allow it.
