When resuming suspended game, what are the substitution rules?

Question

I just read the White Sox and Orioles will resume a suspended game from April 28 in a couple of days. Since the rosters have changed, how are substitution rules enforced? Do the managers get to decide which new players "replace" removed players that are no longer on the roster?

Answer 1

The lineup must be the same one that was in effect at the time of the suspension.  Players who had once played in the game before the suspension and were substituted for are not eligible to play.  However, pitchers are the exception, the pitcher of record does not have to pitch due to the rotation changes, etc.

Players who are no longer with the team may be substituted for by the manager without penalty.

Answer 2

Yes batting order stays the same inserting the replacements where the other players are gone.

Answer 3

the ppl same rules apply

Answer 4

the lineup stays the same(same players, same positions, same batting order) as much as possible....if a player is no longer on the roster than he has to be replaced, but other than that once a player comes out of the game he can't go back in the lineup for the rest of that game.

Answer 5
