I've previously researched the 1994 DL myself for my own season replay stuff, and I'll post it here for the benefit of those who want to play with an historically accurate (I hope!) DL as of August 12. If a guy never went on to play again I make a note of it, though it's seldom clear whether it was really a career-ending injury or if he recovered and just couldn't find a roster spot on a team again.

BOSTON
Danny Darwin: sidelined for two months with back spasms but it looks like he'd just recovered because he was scheduled as the starting pitcher for August 12.
Frank Viola: out for season with Tommy John surgery

CALIFORNIA
John Dopson: out since June with bone spur in right shoulder, never played again
Ken Patterson: out for season with Tommy John surgery, never played again
Eduardo Perez: hadn't played in the majors since June 3, but had been playing hurt in the minors with a hernia and then had surgery so it doesn't look like he would have been available as a late season call-up

CHICAGO CUBS
Jose Guzman: out since May with bone spurs in shoulder
Kevin Roberson: broken bone in hand after punching a door on July 5; was reported as being out for 4-6 weeks so he was probably close to returning at the time the strike started
Ryne Sandberg: retired in June (came back in 1996)
Anthony Young: gone for season with Tommy John surgery

CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Dan Pasqua: out since May with right knee injury, never played again

CINCINNATI
Tom Browning: out since May with a fractured left humerus
Joe Oliver: out since April with Reiter's Syndrome; was hoping to come back later in the season.
Tim Pugh: out since May with back injury
Jerome Walton: out since July 24 with inflamed bunions

CLEVELAND
Matt Turner: out since May with Hodgkin's Disease, never played in majors again

COLORADO
Armando Reynoso: gone for season with elbow surgery

DETROIT
John Doherty: out since July 10 with a strained ab muscle

FLORIDA
Chris Hammond: out since August 4 with hairline fracture of left fibula
Bryan Harney: out since late June with strained right groin
Jeremy Hernandez: season-ending surgery on June 6 for herniated disc in neck

HOUSTON
Jeff Bagwell: left wrist broken by pitch, might have been able to come back in late September
Brian Williams: out since August 1 with back injury

MILWAUKEE
Jeff Bronkey: out since May with bone chips in elbow
Darryl Hamilton: gone for rest of season with Tommy John surgery
Brian Harper: out since June 25 when left wrist was fractured by a pitch
Pat Listach: out since April with tendinitis in left knee
B.J. Surhoff: lower abdominal strain; had surgery August 18 so it seems unlikely he could have come back that season

MONTREAL
Jeff Fassero: out since July 24 with inflamed shoulder muscle

NEW YORK METS
Dwight Gooden: suspended on June 28 for 60 days
Rick Parker: out since May with left wrist injury

NEW YORK YANKEES
Kevin Elster: completed a minor league assignment rehabbing shoulder on August 20 so he would have come back after that

OAKLAND
Steve Karsay: out for season with elbow injury
