I normally don't like taking advantage of "loopholes", but since I wasn't sure what the exact rules were regarding suspensions and replacement players in real life, I just let it go. When someone is suspended in real life MLB, does the team get to temporarily fill their spot with someone? Or did the Dodgers play 50 games with only a 24-man roster when Manny was suspended?

So what's the answer to this question, can a suspended player be sent to the minors? Because you can do this in OOTP.
