Remind me of the rules for replacing bench players... Trevor Story's shoulder dislocation doesn't bode well for HRs

You may change your Bench Player(s) three times in the first half of the season and three times in the second half of the season (up from just twice last season). HOWEVER … there must be twenty-one (21) days between bench player transactions.

So begins my team just always being 1 or 2 HR's fewer than the top 3, so I just slowing sink into oblivion.

Also, we ALL whiffed on Tyler O'Neill
