MLB Considering Rules Changes

Major League Baseball is pushing ahead with a rules’ change for 2020 that requires pitchers to face at least three batters or finish a half-inning. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred also says the injured list for pitchers will revert to 15 days from 10 days. Pitchers optioned to the minors will have to spend 15 days with the farm teams before they can be recalled unless they replace a pitcher going on the IL. Active rosters will increase by one to 26 from opening day through Aug. 31. Expanded September rosters will drop from 40 to 28 through the end of the regular season.
