Here is what I think.
1) Dead ball
2) Player is sent to the bench or told to leave the park
3) Substitute enters game and takes position on the base where the tossed player was last.
What if no subs are available?
Speaking ASA

First thing above all else: You cannot toss a player during a live ball period. You must kill the play or wait for it to end, then dump the player.

If offensive and the player is being ejected for USC and has not yet been put out, you kill the play, rule the player out, return all runners to the last base touched at the time of the unsportmanlike act.

If no substitute, games over.
