History

Historical Context

MLB introduced a 10-day injured list in 1975, later shortened from a 15-day list and renamed from the disabled list before the 2019 season. The Texas Rangers used the list to manage roster depth, and on July 31 2023 they activated shortstop Corey Seager from the 10-day IL, illustrating how the rule continues to shape team strategy.
