Kind of exceptional circumstances, but when Cobb was suspended during the Leuker incident (known as the Suspension Game),

Cobb's replacement player for the game on May 18, 1912, Willaim Leinhauser made 4 appearances at the plate, striking out 3 times. Per SABR, "...when Leinhauser's wife found that he had the audacity to replace the great Ty Cobb, she hit him with a skillet."
