I have a pretty good comprehension about baseball, but there's one thing I don't understand. You often hear teams put a player on the disabled list (that's easy to understand), but then they back date the injury (which in baseball, they have the ability to back date 5 days). Why would they do that? Is it for financial reasons? I mean, during that period of time, the team was essentially short one player anyways. What are the benefits for a back date?
