The proposal is to remove the $1 compensation that is attached to the IR designation, as well as remove the IR designation altogether.
This will improve the league a couple of ways. First, it will reduce the need for LMs to continually balance the ledgers by manually awarding $1 to each IR assignment. Second, tracking and monitoring valid rosters will be less cumbersome without having to worry about this designation. Additionally, it means that players you would normally deactivate for the entire season, can now be used later in the year if they return. Also, these players can now be traded or bought out, whereas previously, the IR designation basically locked them until the rollover.
Each team has 5 IR spots that they can use as they see fit, as long as the player is listed as either on the 15-Day DL or 60-Day DL by their MLB organization.
Once a player is removed from the DL in real life, there will be a grace period on Fantrax to make an appropriate roster move to activate them. If they are not moved after that grace period ends, then the roster will become illegal and gain no stats until it is made legal again. The grace period will be set for 5 lineup periods, so if the player becomes healthy before Wednesday's lineup period you will have through Sunday's lineup period to make your appropriate moves before an illegal roster is declared.
