pretty sure the only way is hope
the only way your bench guy will pinch hit for a specific player (not just set as LHB or RHB pinch hitter) is to make him the direct platoon mate.....and if he doesnt play the same position as that guy, you cant do that
you can set your in game (starter) 2B to be the LF platoon mate (if as you say he plays LF also), and maybe can set your bench guy to be the 2B platoon mate.....if that would result in the changes you're looking for, I think that would work
but Im not experienced enough with 365 to know for sure, just my best guess
the one thing I can say from experience, is I had one guy eligible at 1b and an OF position, and set him to play both positions (one for each against LHP and RHP), and thought that would work, with two platoon mates for each side....but it resulted in that good player getting taken out of the game, rather than moving to the position I'd want him to, so that brilliant strategy died rather quickly lol
good luck, update if you're able to figure it out a way it works ;- )
