Playoff Roster Bug?

rexrowland · 09-01-2013, 12:13 AM

It's probably me, but I certainly don't see what the problem is on my end.

According to the instructions within the game itself: A player is eligible for the postseason if he is on the active roster or DL on the day prior to roster expansion.

The roster expansion date was June 28. My catcher was on the active roster and playing from opening day through June 29 - the day AFTER expansion. So that alone tells me he should be eligible for the playoffs.

In that June 29 game, he got injured and went on the 15-day DL. Today, July 14, he can officially come off the DL, and it happens to be the exact same day the playoffs will begin. Granted, he is still out for one week with his injury, but that shouldn't have anything to do with not being eligible for the playoff roster, right? He is off the DL, he was on the active roster before the roster expansion. What gives? Thanks for your help.

Asking for clarification apologize.
His injury has healed. Yet, he still has time left before he can be activated from the DL......correct?
If so, he is not eligible for post season roster until he can be reactivated.
In other words, until the game sends an e mail saying he's able to come off the DL you're without his services.
