Rules updates
Obviously the major and easier to understand rules changes will be in the game (3 batter/end of inning minimum, 26/28 man rosters), but will the less talked about changes be in there as well? Specifically I’m wondering about the following:
1. The cap of 13 pitchers on the active roster (14 on Sept 1).
2. The restrictions on using a position player as a pitcher.
3. The definitions/qualifications of a pitcher, position player or designated 2-way player.
4. Requirement that pitchers spend 15 days in the minors on optional assignments as opposed to only 10 days for position players.
5. Three different ILs (15 day IL for pitchers, 10 for position players, 7 for concussions).
There are a few others, but with roster management being such a big part of the game, I’d hope these details made the cut as well as the more publicized ones.
