Is there a requirement to report when the shortstop goes to play left field and the left fielder goes to play shortstop? The DP playing defense for anyone other than the FLEX is the same thing. Simply a defensive position change. No player has entered or left the game and the batting order is not changed.
I usually ask the coaches at the plate meeting to let me know if they make a defensive change involving their pitcher or catcher so I can keep track if they want to use a courtesy runner. It is not required that they do so, however.
