What would you do?

[oppool]

Ok guys I need help,

A player hurts their knee sliding into a base the coach informs you that the player will stay in the game to play 1st (no subs available) but will no longer be able to bat when his time comes to bat they want to take a automatic out.

Would you allow this or tell coach if player is going to play defense than he is going to have to get in the box and take pitches when his turn comes up to bat?

And if you would allow this would you allow the opposite the player to bat but play short-handed defensivly


Thanks

Don
