Because unless DP plays defense for FLEX, no one has either entered or left the game. DP playing defense for any other player is just a defensive position swap, similar in effect to bringing in your F7 to pitch and putting the previous F1 out in left.

Tom is correct, as usual. Another way to think of it is, if you don't want a substitution to be charged, any of the top nine in the batting order can play defense along with the Flex. The person in the tenth spot, i.e. the Flex, has to play defense. That means that you can choose any eight of the other nine at any time to play defense.
