How long does a player need to be out before we can DL him? If we can show he has sat a few games and will sit the rest of the week? Or must it be longer? What about a starter? If the word comes down Jake Arrietta's start will be skipped, normally they would 10 day DL him, but in September there is no need. So once the announcement is made can I DL him? I'm trying to get a grip on this since, seemingly, half my team is on the DL or hurt.
