In a Majors (11-12 year old) LL game. Team is playing with 10 players (one bench substitute). Team uses bench player as a pitch runner and enters the game. Batter swings at a pitch and injures his hand. Timeout is called and batter indicates to his coach he no longer can bat. Now only bench sustitute is player that just hit and came out for a pitch runner. What happens? What rules cover this situation? Thanks

LL allows re-entry of a starter in any place in the order, with some restrictions on playing time etc.
Not like most re-entry rules, where a starter must re-enter in their original spot.

Also a rule for injuries which allows the just removed player to re-enter at the time of the injury. Most, if not all youth leagues allow for substitution of an injured player even if no eligble players are left, but, if memory serves me correct the selection of the player to re-enter is reserved to the opposing coach. With only ten players, not much option.. Sorry I can't quote rule and section, been many a year since LL.
