Considering how not valuable they are likely considered it's gonna be IR.

So now we're gonna open the year with an IR list that probably looks like this.

Henne
Speaks
Kemp
Lovett
Dieter
Reaser

And it's questionable if Yelder goes there.

We can only have 2 with the designation to return.

Only 2 of them can. You don't have to 'pre-designate' who those 2 are, though.

The only caveat is that you have to have them on the 53 for day 1 of the season. So anyone that's put on the IR before the season starts cannot return (likely to happen with Kemp if it hasn't already). But if a player is injured, kept on the roster and then IR'd after the 53 man cut-down, they can be one of your 2 players that returns.

Just another reason why putting the IR tag on Dieter is useless. You don't want to clear a 53 man spot for the guy and if you don't at cut-down deadline, he can't come back anyway. Just cut him loose.
