Player cannot be added to lineup when added to 26-man roster during playoffs

It's possible this is by design, but it seems odd to me, because I'm fairly certain this worked in prior versions.


In an MLB-based save, when calling a player up during the playoffs, whether that is from AAA or from the IL. that player does not appear as an option to add to the lineups, even if they are considered "Playoff Eligible". I experienced this first when calling up Riley Adams, who has been on my 40-man all year, to my MLB squad to replace an injured Henry Davis, but Riley was nowhere to be seen on my Lineups screen. A few days later, Vinnie Pasquatino, who had been on my IL but was on my 40-man through the whole year, and is also marked as Playoff Eligible, came off the IL, but he also is not showing up on my Lineups screen.

You need to make sure you are adding the players to your playoff roster. In the playoffs that's separate from the active roster.
