In Game Substitution of Injured Players

Suggestion:
Disable requirement of immediate substitution of injured players.

Reason:
Player gets injured while your team is up to bat. If the player is not on base or the batter, the game requires an immediate substitution, even at times when it's a day-to-day type injury. This is especially problematic if a pitcher in a non-DH league gets injured on the bases, for example, if they were thrown out at a base. Even if it is not the final out of the inning, a sub is needed. Suppose the inning continues and the pitcher spot pops up again, and you've already put in a relief pitcher there. Either that pitcher must hit, or you've wasted a player. Suppose the inning doesn't continue and you've put in a position player, now you need to put a pitcher in, and a player is wasted. Also, if it is a day-to-day type injury, the manager should be allowed to keep the player in, despite the injury.

Priority:
High.
