Oh wow. I did not know that. Thanks for the quick response.
And curse you guys and your better-informed-on-league-rules-than-me ruining my roster planning.
Guess someone's sitting in the 'pen on long relief duty until I can safely send him down.
I presume the 90 days are cumulative between (in this case) 2020 and 2021? He spent about two months on the active roster in 2020, so I should just have to wait out April. Unless I'm pleasantly surprised....
