Morton in to run for Plemons.

I have never understood the courtesy runner.  Why? 

Combination of saving potential injury of pitcher/catcher on the basepaths and helps speed up the game in between innings as they should (hypothetically) be ready to hit the field as soon as the 3rd out is recorded.

Single ties it up at 1-1.

So courtesy runner only for pitcher or catcher?   Thanks.
