Flex / DP
 
Fed rules question.

DP and FLEX are not pitcher or catcher.

DP bats, reaches base. DP is substituted by faster R. Same R was used as courtesy runner for pitcher in earlier innings. After inning, original DP is reentered into game. R on bench. R has been used in the game, can she courtesy run for pitcher again?

Thanks

No.

R was used as a substitute for the DP. In order to be used as a courtesy runner, the player must be an eligible substite, which R no longer is.

No. A courtesy runner cannot have been in the game in any other capacity. In your sitch, R entered to run for the DP. She has one reentry, but it must be in the same spot in the batting order. Since she's been in the game, she can no longer serve as the CR.
