I found that when a P gets hurt after the 3rd out is recorded in the inning it won't let you advance without replacing him. This causes an issue when your P is 4/5 spots away and might hit that inning, but might not. I'd rather wait until after my half inning at bat is over before replacing him.
If I need to explain this a bit better let me know.

I can't give you a precise answer about the coding, but the game design clearly requires that all spots in the lineup be filled at all times, period. And when a player is injured, he is removed from the lineup immediately, leaving a vacancy in the lineup, which the game engine must fill immediately.
It is an inherent characteristic of the game engine, and apparently can't be fixed. A related matter: when the AI replaces an injured with another pitcher in the situation you describe, the new pitcher is credited with one pitch. That makes it "legal" for you (or the AI) to PH for that new pitcher or to replace that pitcher with someone else immediately. However, it can cause some unusual results in crediting things like ERs and Win-Loss.
Hope that at least answers your question.
