a) the rule states the pitcher/catcher may not return for the CR
b) the rule specifies that injury or DQ are the exceptions to a)
Saying no and then specifying exceptions leads to the conclusion that other maneuvers would be subterfuge, like the clarification needed the second year that the CR may not run for the DP, when the FLEX is the pitcher/catcher.
Not technically applicable to ASA, but in my mind, if NFHS found it necessary to add the substitute sentence to 8-9-6; it was not allowed previously.
