| 2016 | Los Angeles Dodgers | 62 | 0.062 | From transactions |
| 2017 | Los Angeles Dodgers | 167 | 1.057 | From transactions |
| 2018 | Atlanta Braves | 172 | 2.057 | From transactions |
| 2019 | Atlanta Braves | 104 | 2.161 | From transactions |
| 2020 | Atlanta Braves | 172 | 3.161 | Carried forward |

172 days credit a full year, so a season adds at most 1.000 no matter how long a player is on a roster. 3.000 years reaches salary arbitration and 6.000 reaches free agency —
what every threshold unlocks.
