Adding players to a lineup

USA Rule 4-1-A-2, 4-1-D-2-B & G

The gist of these rules is late arriving roster members may be added to the eligible sub list at any time, that if playing shorthanded and an eligible sub arrives the player must be entered into the empty spot in the lineup, and that co-ed lineup and defensive field position rules must still be followed. (caveat: I don't do slow pitch.)
