Playoff roster eligibility

I picked up a team in a new league and, through the luck of the draw, I ended up with the best record in the regular season.

HOWEVER, my team has been beset by injuries. Specifically, my outfielders have been dropping like flies and I have no one on the roster who is rated to play centerfield.

I have a player on my 40-man roster who never played in the majors, who could at least fill in for the first round as a backup/defensive replacement for the guys who are going to be staggering around.

However, the game doesn't list him as being eligible. I have two outfielders on the 60-day DL. Could I activate one of them, put him on the playoff roster, and then use that spot for the guy from the minors?
