Just completed my second ever regular season game and my CF went down with a sore shoulder (whata *****).   Correspondance suggests out for "roughly 33 HBD days" and proposes 15 day DL or 60 day DL depending on my rosters flexability,

a Q and a comment here  : 

- does the "15 or 60 day DL" relate to HBD or RL days?  for example...   15 RL days = 45 HBD days.       This is of course crucial to my decision.

- I am inclined to try the 15 day DL in case my 14k medical budget brings him back early but I really need to know if it is RL or HBD time. 

Thanks in advance !


 

i would put him, whoever he is, on the 15 day DL and call up someone from AAA who is on the 40 man and has options and is making at least the league minimum, until he returns....the 33 days refers to HBD days - 3 per day he's out for 11 real life days.

The DL is in HBD days. Just like in real life baseball (at the time of HBD), there is the 15 and 60 day DL. Not a 45 day DL and 180 day DL.

Whatever the amount of days out it says on the player card is the amount he will miss. If it is 33 days that means 33 days.

My rule of thumb is 59 days or less = 15 day DL. Would be interesting to see what other people think.
