That pitcher could not pitch for 40 hours from his last pitch.) If 40 hrs has past from a previous outing it does not count towards the 4-inning period that would require the 40-hr break. (Ex. Pitch 2 innings on Mon. and 2 innings on Wed. (48hrs later) the pitcher could still pitch Thursday but would be limited to 2 innings) At no time can a pitcher pitch more than 12 innings in a week.

10. If a player is hurt or removed from game, just skip his time at bat with no out recorded. Exception: If you are using the extra player rule. Refer to RULE 3
