FYI -- I wrote a rule change proposal to allow this in 2016 but it was  
voted down.



2016-01) Allow teams to make in-series pitcher transactions due to extra  
innings or double-headers

add section 4.1.2:

4.1.2  Special Pitcher Activations

A team may replace pitcher(s) on the active roster with pitcher(s) on the
inactive roster after any game that extends beyond the 9th inning, after the
completion of a suspended game played on the same day as another game, or
anytime during a series with a double-header (including between DH games).  
Any
pitcher activated in this fashion must have been eligible to be activated for
the current week (as per 3.2.2).

Teams may not sign free agents in this situation, only players on the
inactive roster at the start of the series are eligible replacements.
Special transactions should be reported with the GRS for the series.
Players deactivated in this manner must remain inactive for the next two
weeks, just as if they were deactivated after the conclusion of the series.
