A player may play during one season without regard to prior length of service if the player is a pitcher who is changing positions to become a non-pitcher or vice versa. You may eliminate up to one year of time of Minor League service for time spent on the disabled list. None of the afore mentioned restrictions apply to MLB rehabiliation assignments. By July 1st of each year, all clubs must have at least 10 pitchers.
