Injury with 9 players?

A team has only 9 players and one gets injured sliding into second.

Or all players have been used and no available sub for injured player.

What is the correct procedure in NHFS (Fed).

Cool

Robert,

Let them play with 8. When the batting order slot occupied by the player who left the game comes around, it is an out.

They can continue with 8 players (but not less). The "hole" in the batting order is an automatic out. If another eligible player shows up, he can be inserted into the game but it's not mandatory.

What about the runner at second?

What happens at 2nd base? Does another player take his place (who) or what is the procedure there?

Robert,

Assuming the injured player was safe at 2B, the most recent batter not currently on base may serve as a courtesy runner for the injured player (FED 4.4.1B(b) ).

Great question.. I've never seen this but nice to know it is clearly covered by rule.

A caution, however.. I would never call this runner a COURTESY RUNNER. He is definely NOT THAT. He is just a legal replacement runner.

mikebran,

You are, of course, free to refer to said runner as you like.

FYI, the case play I referenced in my earlier thread contains (my emphasis):

Quote:
...The most recent batter not on base may serve as a courtesy runner for the injured B1...
So, in the unlikely event this were to occur in a game I was officiating, I think I would use the term "courtesy runner".

That's easy - invisible man on 2nd!

I don't think that's covered in the rules. I would let them use the first player in the lineup who appears immediately before the injured player, and who is not already on base.

FED 10.2.3.g.
