INJURIES AND THE DISABLED LIST
Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game. Pennants can be
won and lost depending on how you as a manager are able to
juggle your roster and lineup when the injury bug bites.
During the season, injuries will be reported to you on the
Schedule Screen. An overlay will appear telling you who the
injured player is, how long he’s out for and whether or not
you’d like to place him on the disabled list. Some decisions
are no-brainers, such as a player that’s due to miss the
remainder of the season. However, if you have a player that
is due to miss just seven days or so, the decision will be yours.
Do you keep him on the active roster knowing that you can’t
use him for a week and will be a man short, or do you place
him on the 15-day DL and call up a replacement from
the minors?
(Note: You can, of course, render all this moot by setting
Injuries to Off on the Season Setup Screen, but you wouldn’t
want to do that, would you?)
