ASA 8-10-E says a CR cannot be used if the DP is batting for the pitcher. It does not say a CR cannot be used if the DP is in the game as the pitcher.

Per ASA 8-10-A-1, the CR can run for the pitcher of record. So in your situation, she can run for the DP who is pitching, and not for the previous pitcher who is now only playing offense.
