Buy The Book
In MLB, you can make a DL move retroactive. This is sort of like insurance: rather than put him on the DL (for 15 days) for what you think is an injury, you wait. This way, if it’s not really a 15-day injury, you still have the player available. But, if it really is, you make it retroactive (but you play shorthanded until then).
The A’s and Rangers like to do this apparently, and the Yankees don’t:
