Sometimes a team will keep an injured player on the roster but listed as ''day to day'' meaning the medical staff is unable to determine when the player will be ready for play time and doesn't want to risk losing the player for two weeks with what might turn out to be a minor injury. Players may be put on the DL at a date ''retroactive'' to the last day he played. This allows a team not to be penalized, beyond the possible disadvantage of playing with a reduced roster, for listing the player as day to day until the gravity of the injury is known. The advantage to placing a player on the DL list versus keeping him on the bench, is that it opens up a spot on the roster, in which another player, usually either another player who has recovered from an injury or a Minor League player, can be placed. The advantage inherent to the 60-day DL over the 15-day is that a player on the 60-day list does not count on the team's 40-man Roster . |
