Rule 3 Section 3 Article 3

a. a runner takes the place of a runner she has replaced.
b. a pitcher takes her place on the pitcher's plate.
c. a fielder reaches the position usually occupied by the fielder she has replaced.
d. a batter takes her place in the batter's box.
e. and, in each of the above situations, when the ball is declared live by the plate umpire.
It is not a substitution though. It is a defensive position change. A substitution by definition is when a substitute enters the game after not having previously been in the game. rule 3-3-3 does not apply to a defensive position change.
