This might make a difference of winning and losing the next games. I dont know what the solution would be, maybe an option to insert the backup in a certain gap. For example batter #3 gets injured i dont want the backup to play as #3 i have already chosen a slot for backup player, maybe #7-9 if he is weak at bat/on offense. And of course the other parts of the batting order would be rearranged.

Should the substitute automatically be push to the 9th spot and all the other players move up? You probably don't want you #3 hitter sliding into the #2 spot, right? What the best algorithm for adjust the batting order? Thanks, Steve

You probably don't want you #3 hitter sliding into the #2 spot, right?" Exactly, this would be better than what it is now. #3 hitter would do just fine as #2. in my opinion. Maybe add three options: 1) the same old - backup fills the injured player's slot 2)the backup goes to #9 and others move up 3) AI order. I suppose the bot teams somehow create their lineups and batting orders. Right?

The starting DH would C when the starter goes down

In that case the substitute shall take the place of the replaced player in the batting order.
