No... the rules specifically say the umpire may not rule on an appeal play until it is appealed

No, if the runner, since this is an appeal play. Yes, if this is the defense, since the runner is not out.

Is there an echo in here?
As I already said, I would not intervene on an unreported substitute. Let the defense protest if they notice.
And, I would not enter an illegal player on my lineup card without first telling the coach "you can't do that, coach."
