The pitcher and the catcher are considered infielders for the appeal process. The appropriate umpire should then make a decision on the play.

I assume this is ASA only? The rules I quoted before from NFHS and NCAA would seem to assert that base runners cannot return to those bases once the umpire calls Time, and only can correct mistakes when the ball enters dead ball territory.
