I recall reading a while back that there's some sort of development trick or tip to take advantage of related to young players going on/off the DL. Does this sound familiar? Can anyone shed more light?

It works best if you have 20m in medical but the concept is if a player has the right kind of injury, he'll come back better if left on the 60 day DL until he gets two injury recovery cycles. Player Profile: Pep Thomas - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports

Got two cycles out of the first one; hoping for a second cycle out of the next two...

I have 20/20 training/medical and have Guy Miclat coming back from injury shortly, but his tendonitis injury caused him to drop from an 82 to an 80. How long would I have to leave him on the DL to get the 2nd cycle?

Sometimes it's the timing of the injury. I leave them until I get the 2nd recovery cycle or the next regular season cycle. NORMALLY, if it's like a 22 day injury, you'll get a recovery cycle on Day 22 and a 2nd on Day 59. A owner in one of my worlds got the first as expected then asked why he didn't get his 2nd on Day 59. I told him to hang tight and he got it on Day 61. That's why I wait.

What if he actually had a 60-day DL injury?

I'd expect a 2nd recovery cycle around Day 90.

Mike, I had a guy with a 230 day injury. He got one injury recovery cycle and then the regular season ended before he got a 2nd. He starts the next season with only 19 days remaining on his injury. Will I get an injury recovery by putting him on the 15 day or will I have to put him back on the 60 day?

You may have hit the jackpot. Put him on the 60 and leave him until you get a Regular Season cycle(assuming you like the recovery results). I've gotten 4 recovery cycles in those cases before. And, sadly, just one under the same circumstance.

Excellent. Thank you!!!
