The Commissioner's Office may approve or disapprove the request based on the specific facts and circumstances. In accordance with Major League Rule 40(a)(4)(C), Liriano will be eligible to return during any Postseason series, provided that he has been ineligible to play for a minimum of seven days (beginning today), and Major League Baseball's Medical Director has approved a reinstatement.
