AI manager: Reliever enters for starter, then is later pulled and starter re-enters the game

[heyblue]

In an autoplay game with two custom teams both using the “Pedro” AI, the manager pulled the starting pitcher (Roger Clemens) in the 8th inning to replace him with the closer (Mariano Rivera). So far, so good. However, after pitching to three batters and surrendering a walk and then a home run, the manager pulled Rivera and brought Clemens BACK INTO THE GAME to pitch to one more batter before he was replaced by a different reliever (Francisco Liriano)!

To recap: the starter was pulled to start the 8th, the reliever was pulled after 3 batters, then the starter was put back into the game. He pitched to one batter and then was replaced by another reliever.

I’ve reported this bug to support, but have any of you seen this before? And/or do any of you know how to make sure this doesn’t happen?

Here is a copy/paste of the play-by-play:
