Description: The Disabled List is a location where you may temporarily store players that are injured so their salary does not count against your salary total.

Reactivating Players: To reactivate a player from your disabled list. Check that player, then click on reactivate. If you have enough roster slots open and you do not violate the salary cap by doing so, the player will be returned to your team. You may return multiple players at the same time by checking them all at once and clicking on Reactivate. Unlike going on the disabled list, players do not need to be healed to come off the DL. Teams may elect to bring players who are still injured off of the Disabled List. There is no minimum length that a player has to stay on the List.
Qualifying for the Disabled List: In order to be added to the disabled list, a player must be injured (have a red number after his name), you must not violate the minimum roster or position requirements and you must have enough Disabled List spots open. The number of players that may be on the disabled list at one time is league specific, but, typically it is 5 for subscribed users and 2 for non-subscribers (roughly half of the subscriber number). If you don't have enough slots open, the system will alert you.
Storing Players on the Disabled List: Teams often elect to store players on the disabled list even though they are not injured. Players who are on the Disabled List at the end of the season will be returned to your lineup if there is enough room. If not, these players may be released. Players who will come back to your team vs. those who are released cannot be predicted. We cannot intervene if a player is released from the disabled list that you didn't intend to release. Please make sure that all players are off the DL at the end of the season.
