"Toe the rubber" is not an official Baseball term, so I'm going to guess that you're using this term to mean when the pitcher assumes the windup position. If so, the answer to your question is "No." Once the pitcher assumes the windup position (or the set position), he/she has three options: 1) pitch; 2) throw to a base (in an attempt to pick off a runner); 3) step off the pitcher's plate (rubber).
Rule 8.01 covers this and is quoted in the Discussion section for this question.

What does the term toe the slab refer to in baseball?
It means to be a pitcher. The pitching rubber is called the slab. The pitcher must have his foot on the rubber when he releases a pitch and he touches it with the back of his toes, wearing a shoe, of course.
Can a pitcher stand on the corner of the pitching rubber?
Yes. A pitcher must make contact with the rubber but it may be a toe, a heel, or the entire foot.

What does the pitcher have to be on when they are delivering the pitch?
The pitcher must be on the "rubber" when making a pitch.
How does the tension on a rubber band affect pitch?
The tension on a rubber band affects pitch by changing the frequency at which the rubber band vibrates. Increasing tension typically increases pitch as it results in higher frequency vibrations, and decreasing tension lowers the pitch by lowering the frequency of vibration.
Would a longer rubber band have a higher pitch than a short one?
No, the pitch of a rubber band depends on its tension, not its length. A tighter rubber band will produce a higher pitch sound compared to a loose one, regardless of its length.
Which rubber band would have the sound with the highest pitch?
The rubber band with the least amount of mass and the highest tension would produce the sound with the highest pitch. The thinner the rubber band and the more taut it is stretched, the higher the pitch it would produce when plucked.
Why does a thick rubber band make a low pitch?
A thick rubber band makes a low pitch because it has less tension and lower frequency of vibrations than a thin rubber band. Thicker rubber bands vibrate more slowly, producing a lower frequency sound wave, which results in a lower pitch.
How does changing the length of the rubber band affect the sound?
Changing the length of the rubber band can affect the pitch of the sound produced. Shortening the rubber band tends to increase the pitch, while lengthening it lowers the pitch. This is because the shorter length creates higher frequency vibrations and vice versa.
Does the thickness of rubber bands change the pitch of its sound?
Yes, the thickness of a rubber band can affect the pitch of its sound. Thicker rubber bands tend to produce lower pitches, while thinner rubber bands produce higher pitches. This is because thicker rubber bands vibrate at a slower rate compared to thinner ones.
