Two of us say that a pitcher (starter) has re-entry after being substituted for while on offense, and can pitch again.

Baseball, FED rules.

It seems to me that I recall an old FED situation that stated if the pitcher was substituted out because of an injury and the sub took more than eight warm-ups, the pitcher could re-enter, but could not pitch again.

Anyone?

That is true. More than 8 warmups for the sub and the pitcher is done (pitching) for the game.

I think 3-1-2 lists the reason a pitcher may not return to pitch (from memory: he didn't face one batter or retire the side; excess conferences, reliever requires more than 8 warm-up pitches, player not eligible to reenter)
