MLB used to have exactly the same rule. Injuries
during a playoff series could not be replaced. The rule was only changed a few years ago, back in 2007, to allow injury replacements during a series.

This is why real-world clubs with a chance of making the post-season often put guys onto the DL in late August so as to give themselves as many playoff eligible players as possible.
