FED rules allow by State adoption the use of courtesy runners for the PITCHER and the CATCHER as a method of speeding up the game. These are not considered substitutions.

A pinch-runner for anyone else besides the current pitcher or catcher would need to be a substitution and therefore the substitute/pinch-runner would be done if he is replaced (either by another substitue or by re-entry of the original player).
