IL60 and Over Roster Size Question

[Coppernob]

I purchased a player on the assumption that one of my players will be placed on the IL60 and thus I will not need to cut anyone.But now I am concerned that i cannot make a “lineup change” until I cut a player. Have I effed myself?

It depends on the player. I’d check this thread

Why would a team delay placing a player on the 60 day IL?

Luis Robert is going to be out for several months, the team has already acknowledged as much. I’m trying to suspend my obvious bias and understand what an MLB team has to gain by placing him on the 10 day IL instead of the 60 day IL.

We should see some guys move to the 60IL tomorrow morning but it really, really depends on the MLB team’s needs. Once you move someone to the 60IL in MLB, you are required to have a corresponding add to the 40-man roster. That is not a thing some MLB teams want to do yet.
