Our constitution states:
Disabled List
Any player may be placed on the Disabled List (DL) if they are placed on the DL in Major League Baseball. Any player on the 15- day DL must remain on the 40-man roster, but anybody on the 60-day DL may be removed from the 40-man roster without penalty.
When a player is put on the 60 Day Disabled List, and is removed from the 40 man roster, when that player is reinstated on the 40 man roster, do we then put the player that replaces the disabled player on the 40 man roster on Irrevocable Outright Waivers? As an example, Dan Runzler of the Giants is on the 40 man roster, but is also on the 60 day disabled list. If I were to replace him on the 40 man roster with Heath Hembree, from the San Jose minor league, and then wanted to add Runzler back to the 40 man roster when he becomes healthy, thus requiring me to send a player down to the minors, if Hembree is the one I wish to send back down, do I have to put him on IOW?

Will look into this and figure it out today or tomorrow.

There's nothing in our league constitution that would grant anybody an exception from IOW when a player is sent down for another returning from the DL.
There's nothing that I've found in the MLB rules that has such an exception either.
So yes, the player would have to be placed on irrevocable outright waivers to be removed from the 40 man roster.
