Defense appeals.
Of course, the answer is, #31 is now in the game and assumes the 2-1 count.
There is only a small window of time for any penalty to be applied to an Unreported Substitute, i.e. after completing a turn at bat and before the next pitch, legal or illegal, is thrown.

Although this small window of time can be used at the offended teams discretion any time during the game. As long as the unreported sub is in the game or the offending team realizes their mistake and corrects it.
