In this article, we'll talk about how to move IL-Eligible players in and out from IL.
CHANGE FOR 2021 SEASON:
For the 2021 Fantasy Baseball season, we increased the default number of IL slots in leagues from ONE to THREE.
In League Manager Leagues, the League Manager can adjust that number to be higher or lower. If LM decides to ADD IL slots post-draft, it cannot be reduced.
REMINDER:
Injury status is updated every day, throughout the day, based on feeds from our data providers. It is important to note that there is often a gap between when a team announces an IL move will take place and when it actually happens. ESPN only offers IL status to players who are officially on the IL, regardless of the expected length of absence.

How to manage IL on Web?
Under my team, Click "Manage IL"
Web will automatically show all players that are either IL-Eligible or currently in IL. Use "To IL" or "Activate" to move them around. 
If successful, you will see a green line indicating "Moved Saved", make sure you click "Done" after you have made your moves.
If you want to move a player to IL while the IL is full or have a player ineligible, you can click "To IL" and one of the players currently in IL should see "Here"

How to manage IL on Fantasy App?
under Roster, click "Edit Lineup/IL" , then "Manage IL"
After clicking 'Manage IL', available actions appear next to players who are eligible for the IL. 
After clicking "To IL" , if the move is successful, managers should see a sign that says "Your roster changes have been saved"
The steps to "substitute" two IL-eligible players is slightly different on Fantasy App.
Instead of "Putting an player to IL for a player there", you are" Activating a player from IL for another IL-eligible player"
Click "Activate" and the app will allow you to select "To IL" if you have any IL-eligible player(s).
Simply exit the page and continue making other roster moves after your move is saved. 
DISABLED LIST IN WEEKLY LOCK LEAGUES:
In a weekly lock custom league, a team manager has the ability to manage the IL for the current day only. IL changes cannot be future dated. Moving a player to the IL will only be possible while rosters are unlocked, usually on Sundays.
Here's an example: I'm in a weekly lock league and manage my roster on Sundays. I change my lineup of batters and pitchers for the week by clicking on the future game days and shifting players around. If I want to place Player A (who is IL eligible) on the IL, I must make the change effective now, and it will appear on my lineup for Monday's games. I would not be able to click Wednesday's games and make the move effective Wednesday, that would be a future dated IL change.
