Sometimes I feel like you are a Leprechaun and everything you post is a riddle and in some way my life depends on understanding.

Jean Segura has 8 home runs against me already... this week... in the playoffs.
He has 12 home runs in real life in the last two years TOTAL.

Well baseball teams play every day so the day-to-day designation is a lot more literal (except for September) compared to hockey. In puck sometimes a team has like four days off and you'll see teams squat on IR decisions for frustratingly long periods of time. If your goalie is hurt but you only play once in the next six days you might not even bother IRing him for a week.
If I was considering this de novo the rule would definitely be prospect promotion = a weekly add (with the limited exception of if someone is at 5 adds already and they need to promote to facilitate a trade.)
With the rule already stated in the past I figured it only fair that it should apply to your situation. But if you are cool with new rule then new rule it is, for now and always. Prospect promotions are basic weekly adds. DINGER ADD THIS TO THE OFFICIAL RULES.
I recently switched to an iPhone and I finally realize that simpler = better.
Ok, I hired King to dig through the DDL archives and he found my old rule about this situation.
Because that ^ is on the record, it HAS to apply to the current situation.
This is just such a rare situation that everyone forgot about it. In most weeks (95%+) owners don't even reach 5 adds. It's so rare for a playoff team to have a good, addable prospect during the playoffs that it simply has not come up.
The fact that this has arisen exactly once in between that rule being stated (March 31 2014) and now demonstrates that this issue is exceedingly minor. Accordingly, the rule will not be altered because it is not a pressing concern.
This is a complex web of precedent and policy. I agree that this matter requires the discretion of a Darrell. I'll turn my attention to this as soon as I can and render a clarifying decision.
Tickets on StubHub are starting at like like $8 right now for the next two games.
Last night was one of the best games I've gone to. Perfect weather, nobody beside us, spent less than $20 for two tickets, two hour game, good game, Jays won.
