7-2-14: If a player on defense goes to the mound, this shall terminate the DH's role for that team. The DH may assume the defensive player's position in the field.
Situation: F6 replaces the SP and becomes the RP. Does the DH have to come out if he doesn't play shortstop? Or can you move F5 to F6 and put the DH in at F5 on the field?
I've always thought you could swap people's defensive positions to your heart's content and it doesn't impact the batting order. But the word "the" makes me wonder if the DH must play that person's position?
