Does anyone know how long this time period is?

As stated in the original post, the real rules are that a player needs to stay in the minors 10 days. There is an exception, though, if a player on the ML team gets injured before those ten days are up, they're allowed to be brought back up.
I didn't realize this was an obscure rule. I know I've heard it discussed quite frequently, but apparently, even some teams get it <A href="http://www.juneauempire.com/Archive/April99/041899/stories/041899/Spo_sides.html">screwed up</a> (scroll down to the middle).
