I really don't see the need. When you take a change, you make the change. Why would it be necessary to provide extraneous explanation for something that isn't supposed to be available to begin.
Of course, you could always go this route:
Coach: 24 is going to hit for 13. 13 will re-enter.
Umpire: Coach, give me the change when it happens.
Coach: I just did.
Umpire: Fine, coach. 24 is back in the game and 13 has used one of their two entries into the game. Any other players you would like to waste?
Coach: But...uh...no...I didn't.....what?
Umpire: Thanks, Coach, the dugout is that way.
