In this case I choose a, and asked the coach if she had made a substitution. It was at this time she indicated it wasn't a substitution, but a position change and the previous pitcher was now playing 1st base.
The only place this really impacts would be the possibility of using a courtesy runner for the pitcher, since we have established that defensive switches are generally not required to be reported to the umpire.
How would you handle this as a PU?

First, I would look at the line-up card and see whether she was already in the game. Mark her as the pitcher on the line-up card and play ball.
