In real life a player, when DFA'd, does not immediately have to be placed on waivers. Note too there are different kinds of waivers (trade, optional, outright, and release) for the type of move a club is wanting to do,

Now, while the club does have 10 days to make a move, the various waiver requirements mean a club will probably have to request waivers shortly after designating the player.
