Been awhile since I've done this but I don't think it has to be a batter that has to pitch or a pitcher that will have to bat.
I think you could go to the 1 slot in the batting order (assuming you don't want to take Trout out) and change the position from "RF" to "-". Then put your pitcher in that slot and change the position to "P". Next put your hitter into the 6 hole and assign that position to "RF". Assuming you have an OF on the bench. If not you could put a SS in the 6 hole and your new pitcher into the 9 hole.
Only downsides are you have to pick your reliever right away and if you have warmups on he may have to come in cold?
Give that a try next time, I think it will work.
