DL rule changes

Main changes to MLB DL that I was able to find that could potentially impact IBC
- 15 day minimum reduced to 10 days
- Teams also will be able to backdate a disabled list stint by only three days – instead of back to the last game a player appeared in.

There was some discussion in Slack when the change was announced about having all injury stints start with the Sunday database, while allowing activations after both the Sunday and Thursday databases.

The backdating change should cause us to follow closer to actual time spent on MLB DL without requiring any change to our approach.

The length of the minimum stay could cause some issues when MLB teams abuse it for roster advantage purposes, but I don't think there's anything we really need to discuss about it as of yet.

I'm good with that as long as it doesn't mess up JP's process.

Same w/ BP. Whatever is easiest for JP with simming/dbases.

Is there a way to have injuries still be every Sunday and you can activate on Thursdays?

Allowing Thursday activation is fine by me. It won't add much, if any, work for me.

If it works for JP it works for me.
