Rehabilitation Assignments. (a) Notwithstanding Section C(1) above, a Player on the Dis- abled List may be assigned to a Minor League club for the pur- pose of rehabilitation with the Player’s written consent, a copy of which shall be forwarded to the Association, and with the approval of the Commissioner. (See Attachment 39.) (b) Separate consent shall be required for a rehabilitation assignment for a new injury or a reoccurrence of an injury. In order for a Player’s written consent to be effective, the duration of his rehabilitation assignment must be the product of good faith negotiation between the Player and Club. No consent shall be effective for longer than twenty days (thirty days for pitchers). (c) A Player on the Disabled List may be assigned to a Minor League club for up to a maximum of twenty days (thirty days for pitchers) for each injury, or reoccurrence of an injury, for the pur- pose of rehabilitation. However, a Player may provide more than one consent for the same injury, or a reoccurrence of an injury, if the total number of days of the rehabilitation assignment for that injury or reoccurrence does not exceed a maximum of twenty days (thirty days for pitchers). (d) Any service with a Minor League club while on rehabili- tation assignment shall be deemed to be Major League service as defined in Article XXI. A Player so assigned shall continue to receive his Major League salary and the other rights and benefits of such Player shall be in accordance with past practices relating to assignments to Minor League clubs; provided, however, that all such players shall be treated as if they were Major League Players on the road for purposes of hotel accommodations and the daily meal and tip allowance. Such assignment shall not be counted as an optional assignment under Major League Rule 11 or for any other purpose, and waivers shall not be required.
