On Friday night, San Fran Giants pitcher Noah Lowry entered the game in the 10th inning as a outfield defensive substitution. I'm wondering if this has ever happened before in MLB history.

Back in the '70s, Kent Tekulve played the outfield for a batter or two a couple times; this was technically as a substitute player (though really it was so he'd be available as a pitcher to a later batter).

Don't pitchers get used a lot as pinch runners? In 1988, Cincinnati used Danny Jackson as a PR more than once, because he was the fastest pitcher.

Lefty Sudden Sam McDowell once moved to 2b so they could have a different pitcher, then McDowell returned to the mound.
