In order to field a “legal” lineup, do you need a player in every position on your roster everyday? I was planning on mixing an matching hitters at several positions, which would likely include somedays, playing no hitter, for example, LHB OF is facing Clayton Kershaw.

You do not need a starter at every position every day.
