Links to current list of disabled players

just saw your note..
I can only find MLB injured lists.
Sorry.

I agree it seems much easier to manage. But since we've already started the draft this change may have a pretty significant affect on people's decisions. I'm looking at Justin Verlander lol

Yea I know, just a thought lol

I think it would be helpful to identify a source of truth for injury data. I recommend fangraphs because their website is a breeze to scrape current and historical data in one go (example).

Here's an example of the data.

[
 {
   "index": 43,
   "loaddate": "2021-05-16T18:31:27",
   "mlbamid": 519242,
   "date": "2020-03-30 00:00:00.000000",
   "dateDisplay": null,
   "retrodate": "03/29/21",
   "eligibledate": "05/28/21",
   "returndate": null,
   "position": "SP",
   "team": "BOS",
   "injurySurgery": "Tommy John surgery",
   "status": "60-Day IL",
   "latestUpdate": "Questionable for 2021 season",
   "season": 2021,
   "playerId": "10603",
   "playerName": "Chris Sale",
   "playerNameRoute": "Chris Sale",
   "UID": 28438
 }
]


By matching using players' names, I added the "UID" column. This is the player's Unique ID from the 2021 DMB Zips disk.

At initial glance, the data appears to be temporal, so when a player is re-injured, both stints on the IL are included. Below is an example.

[
 {
   "index": 236,
   "loaddate": "2021-05-16T18:31:27",
   "mlbamid": 571666,
   "date": "2021-03-01 00:00:00.000000",
   "dateDisplay": "Mar '21",
   "retrodate": "03/29/21",
   "eligibledate": "04/08/21",
   "returndate": "04/26/21",
   "position": "SP",
   "team": "OAK",
   "injurySurgery": "Hip inflammation",
   "status": "Activated",
   "latestUpdate": "Activated",
   "season": 2021,
   "playerId": "7754",
   "playerName": "Mike Fiers",
   "playerNameRoute": "Mike Fiers",
   "UID": 28775
 },
 {
   "index": 245,
   "loaddate": "2021-05-16T18:31:27",
   "mlbamid": 571666,
   "date": "2021-05-07 00:00:00.000000",
   "dateDisplay": null,
   "retrodate": "05/08/21",
   "eligibledate": "05/18/21",
   "returndate": null,
   "position": "SP",
   "team": "OAK",
   "injurySurgery": "Sprained elbow",
   "status": "10-Day IL",
   "latestUpdate": "No timetable for return",
   "season": 2021,
   "playerId": "7754",
   "playerName": "Mike Fiers",
   "playerNameRoute": "Mike Fiers",
   "UID": 28775
 }

If we decide to go this route, I can identify the weeks that each player would be ineligible to play in B1G and share it with the league in as a Google Doc. I'd want to iron out the correct dates to use as well. E.g. Do we start the injury on the "date" or on the "retrodate". Do we use the "eligibledate" or the "returndate" to allow a player to play in our league again.

To be honest, I don't know the difference between these columns

For the minor leagues, we would mainly have to focus on AAA and AA as there aren't many players with projections who are in A-ball.
