  • MLB to Add 7-day Disabled List?

    It's what the minor leagues use. It would be added along with the 15 and 60-day disabled list.

    The NFL is not the only sport figuring out how to deal with head injuries. Major League Baseball might create a 7-day disabled list just for players with concussions as soon as next season, a person familiar with the proposal told the Associated Press.

    The new DL would be in addition to the 15- and 60-day lists that already exist. Concussions can happen on all fields of play, and officials at Major League Baseball, the NHL and NBA are following the developments in the NFL.

    If a baseball subcommittee OKs the idea, it would need to be approved by Commissioner Bud Selig, then the players' union. A change to the disabled list rules would be subject to collective bargaining with the union.

    Yeah, except it's only for concussions, so it's not like the minors.

        But teams would take advantage the shit out of it. So it's like the minors.
