Player Availability

Player availability lets you mark a player as unavailable for a game so they’re excluded from lineup suggestions and bench tracking.

When to use it

Section titled “When to use it”
  • A player is injured
  • A player can’t attend a specific game
  • A player arrives late and sits out early innings

Setting availability

Section titled “Setting availability”

From the lineup builder, tap a player’s name and toggle their availability. Unavailable players appear grayed out in the player rail and won’t be auto-filled into positions or bench slots.

Partial game availability

Section titled “Partial game availability”

If a player arrives late or leaves early, you can mark them as unavailable for specific innings only. This ensures their bench count and playing time stats remain accurate for the innings they actually played.

How it affects bench fairness

Section titled “How it affects bench fairness”

Unavailable players are excluded from the bench fairness calculation. Only available players are considered when Dugout Master suggests who should sit each inning.
