list of injured baseball players
Videos
So I just came from an r/redsox thread where someone said that they changed it to IL “because people are too soft”. I’ll be honest, I’m still calling it the DL usually because I’m just not used to the name change yet and have forgotten about it at times, but I’m personally glad that they changed it.
I’m not glad because I’m soft. I just have never liked the name DL, not because it’s offensive or something but instead because it’s just wrong. Disabilities and injuries are 2 very different things, and why should we call it the “disabled list” when the players are not actually disabled. If the only reason people want to keep it is tradition, then go ahead and keep calling it the DL, but it just doesn’t make sense to me.
Does a player that is on a teams DL/IL at end of the season remain on the DL/IL for the start of the next season?
