Yahoo Sports released its plans Sunday to adjust various league formats for its popular fantasy baseball platform for the shortened, 60-game Major League Baseball season in 2020 that’s scheduled to begin on July 23.

That includes changes to head-to-head, rotisserie and points leagues so that players have as close to a normal 2020 season as possible.

“Our Yahoo Fantasy Baseball plans will align accordingly with the resumption of play and the shortened season,” said Brian Marshall, Yahoo Sports’ vice president of product. “The updates we’ve put in place will ensure the continuation of the best fantasy user experience.” Head-to-head leagues will be nine weeks long. There will be seven regular season weeks and two playoff weeks. That means that only four teams can make the postseason in H2H leagues with no bye weeks.

For roto and points leagues, teams will have 525 max innings and position players will max out at 60 games played. That’s a proportional change for the season, Yahoo said. For all leagues, Injured List slots will expand from two to four to account for the coronavirus pandemic. Private leagues can customize for this change
