Major League Baseball changed the 15-day disabled list to a 10-day option as part of the new collective bargaining agreement agreed to in December.

Thus far, teams have used the disabled list more often given the shorter option.

165 players appeared on the 10-day DL in the season's first 25 days, according to Major League Baseball. That's a 12 percent increase over the same span from 2013 to 2016.

"You see this all the time: They say an injury is day-to-day," Pete Mackanin said. "Then two days turns into four days and four days turns into six. Well, if that's the case, you might as well put him on the DL [right away] rather than play short for a week."

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had the most DL stints this season with 12.
