The designated hitter was used in National League games for the first time in Major League history this season, but that doesn't mean it'll be used in 2021.

"MLB instructed clubs in a memo last week to proceed under the assumption the DH will not be used in the NL this year, though few will complain if the league and union reach agreement to the contrary," writes Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Negotiations between MLB and the Players' Association are ongoing, so the subject hasn't been ultimately decided.
