DP/Flex...and ejection

What if the Flex is substituted for the DP (or vice versa)? That would eliminate one of those positions giving you a substitute to re-enter.

Are you suggesting that, for example, the DP play defense for FLEX, removing the FLEX/DP positions from the game?

While technically true it does this (lineup goes to 9), the player who was playing FLEX may not bat in any position other than the DP's spot in the batting order. So, this doesn't give them a sub for R1, who was ejected.
