The bigger change appears to be that the 15-day DL is now the 10-day DL.

Another overdue change to the CBA, beginning in 2018, games will have to start earlier on getaway days if either team has longer than a 2 1/2 hour flight to reach their next destination.  Teams also won't be allowed to schedule afternoon games if  their opponent had a night game the day before.  This will affect Houston as much as any team, since Arlington, St. Louis, KC, and Atlanta are the only cities under 2 1/2 hours (Chicago's right there).
