Good question! It is listed as an injury, so we're able to stash them on the 60-Day IL/minor league IL so they don't take up a roster spot. Most big leaguers will come back without a scratch, but for the minor leaguers, our commish is actually planning on putting some of them in a simulated war game, so we may have a few casualties. There are a few players linked with storylines from real life (like Papenfus and Bob Feller), so I don't have to worry about him not coming back, but there is a chance one (or more) of our enlistees get an injury/death and aren't able to play again. It's been an exciting process for us to undergo with all the uncertainty.
