It's quite simple Sven. Name any sport with 5 or more on a team that allows for a non-suited up player to come in after a player gets hurt. That's what our 4 guys in the subbox are for. You only need 6 to play this game and the US Masters have figured out that 5 works better, Uncle T calls it scoring strength. There is no need to add a rule that could be obused in some perverse way when we already have a set-up which allows for injured players to be replaced.

I speak of this from the perspective of getting hit in the cheek, cut open, and taken out of the game for medical reasons during the Master's final in 2004 and having my team play with just 9 for five or 6 minutes while I got glued up to return to the game. I wouldn't have wanted to be replaced in that game and every player on that team knew they had to suck it up for a bit. They still had 3 subs and it was enough.
