Red Sox manager John Farrell expects more scrutiny from MLB

Red Sox manager John Farrell is expecting MLB to pay more attention to the new 10-day disabled list, at least in part to prevent teams from stashing healthy players there as a way of managing their rosters.

The example the Journal gives for what it calls “the phantom DL” is a team with a depleted bullpen moving a healthy starting pitcher to the 10-day DL under the guise of an injury in order to add a reliever.
