In such a situation, will teams have the option of using pitchers as pinch hitters?

Yes, they do, and that has happened. I also remember a wrinkle where the pitcher has to hit in the AL if the DH winds up playing a position. I recall that happening when a catcher got injured and the DH was made the catcher. Maybe that rule has changed or I misremembered it.

But, technically, a pitcher being used to pinch-hit or pinch-run is a PH or PR, unless they stay in the game to pitch (very unlikely).
