Yes, the defense can come back out. The prohibition against players coming back onto the field generally apply to: 1) an offensive player who steps into dead ball territory; and 2) the defense with respect to an appeal after the third out of the inning.

Logically speaking, to prohibit the defense from coming out to make a play would mean to allow the batter-runner to run without liability to be put out and ultimately score.
