Player B has played 6 defensive outs and one at bat. In the top of the last inning can Player A re enter as a pinch hitter?
Also can two started re enter the game in the same inning?
Thank you

Yes, A can re-enter for anyone except a substitute who hasn't met the mandatory play requirement. For example, if Player C was replaced by Player D, and D hasn't played six consecutive defensive outs and one at-bat, then A cannot pinch-hit for D.
And Yes, there is no restriction on how many starters may re-enter in an inning.
