Can a player legally be in the game if the substitution has not been given to the plate umpire?

Yes, as long as he is eligible to enter. Once he has takken the fielding position or batter's spot then he is in the game legally.

Just remember that if an infielder or outfielder takes his place in the field it isnt and unannounced substitution until play has been called, which is different to the pitcher and the batter... |

Is it different for the batter? I'm not sure if he is considered a sub before the ball is live or not.
