Where is the Fantasy Baseball DH spot? This should have been added once both leagues went to a DH.

Now that the Designated Hitter has been incorporated into the National League... What about adding "DH" as an option for a roster position? And I don't mean replace the "Utility" roster position with a new "DH" position. I'm suggesting that Utility stays Utility, but DH is also added for all the players who have the adequate starts at designated hitter.

In my league we allow each team to use a maximum of 3 IL spots or 3 NA spots or any combination of those not exceeding 3. With current yahoo settings we have to set it at 3 IL and 3 NA. This can allow for a team to have a total of 6 inactives. We have to use an honor system to ensure people don't exceed a total of 3. It would be much easier if these could be interchangeable or if there was a lock on total roster size similar to what's available in the CBS game.
Also, regarding inactives... Players that are suspended get a SUSP tag, but are not available to slot into the NA slot. It sure would be nice if they could be slotted as NA or if Yahoo could add a SUSP roster option.

Add IL+ spots for baseball. There will undoubtedly be instances where players are forced to miss games because of COVID. Makes no sense not to include this.

I just came on to request this myself. IL+ works great in basketball. And I think we need it in baseball.

Add IL+ spots to fantasy baseball this season like in fantasy basketball. This is for any player who is DTD and not on the IL. This is a huge plus in fantasy basketball. And would work great in fantasy baseball.

That might not be fair to your opponents in H2H daily leagues. PPD's are what they are and you just need to suck it up and manage with what you got when rain gets in the way. Btw, very often PPD's are made up with a double-header the very next day or later on in the season. That means you'll get to make up for it with extra starts from those PPD'd players the previous day. Giving you extra moves through that IL+ idea in baseball that you are suggesting, will be unfair to your opponents, unless they too had the same number of PPD's you had and got to also claim another player for each PPD. See what I mean? If they didn't have any PPD's, and hence didn't get to make any extra player claims to replace PPD's, they'll likely end up with less starts than you at the end of the week. In hockey perhaps that's not a problem but I wouldn't know coz I don't play the hockey game so don't know the ins n outs.

How is PPD due to Covid any different than being PPD for rain, or any other reason. How is a player listed as DTD any different than any other day off given by the manager?
Rather than working on these irrelevant issues, Yahoo should focus on putting together a product that works the way it is supposed to work. The issues with the stat tracker this year are abysmal. I have been playing on this site for many years, but I will never play fantasy sports on Yahoo's site again. I suggest you deliver on the product you claim to offer, because people are abandoning their teams in record numbers.
I set up four teams this year. I doubt any one of the leagues I play in has had even half of it's managers look at their team in the last few weeks.

This IL+ plus position is offered in other Yahoo sports but not in baseball. With all these players getting hurt on a daily basis and listed as DTD (day-to-day) a manager has very few options to put in a full lineup. These are players you don;t want to drop. Enjoy all Yahoo sports but this issue in baseball needs to be addressed immediately.

Please add IL+ ASAP.
This is just a GAME and don't need to be addicted 100% with what they said/think in MLB front offices. A lot of them probably don't play and care about this as we do. And we need IL+ spots. -

Had the same question under a different post. Here's the response I got back from Yahoo:
This is Trevor from Buffalo. I understand you had a question about IL+. I can assist you with this.
IL+ has not been considered yet for MLB as usually when players are out in MLB, they are put on the 10 day IL.
Guess were not going to see IL+ in Yahoo baseball anytime soon.

Agreed. Had players already listed as DTD out over a week.

Many poolers are not happy that when a player is injured and marked as day to day they can't put them on IL for the very same night that the injury occured. In hockey we have this option, so it would be wise to upgrade it in baseball too.
