In the Disabled List section (Section 6.5) it mentions, "GMs may remove a player from the DL whenever they choose."
Does this mean that if, say, David Wright (currently on my 10-day DL) starts playing again for the Mets, that I can leave him in the 10-day DL slot until I decide that I want him to play? Or when he is removed from the real-life MLB team's DL does he also then need to be removed from my JBL team's DL?

Just an assumption on my part...10 day DL is a 10 day DL, so he has to come off after 10 days anyway right? I interpret your quote from 6.5 to mean you can bring him off early if you want...not that you can leave him past 10 days. So on day 11, if he is playing or not, he would either have to be activated, or moved to the 60 day dl. He would only be eligible for the 60 day dl if he was also on the real mlb 60 day dl...so I think that is the way to view it.

That's not how the MLB disabled list works though. The names are really only reflect the severity of the injury. If a player has a less severe injury, he goes on the 10 day DL, but if he has a more severe injury he goes on the 60 day DL. A player on the 10 day DL cannot be recalled before 10 days, but can stay on it longer if necessary. Same with the 60 day DL.
To use Brewers example, David Wright has been on the 10 day DL since the start of the season. I think something around 15 days have gone by since the season started. Wright is eligible to return, but hasn't been cleared yet, thus he is still on the 10 day DL.
To my understanding, we can leave our players on a specific DL for as long as they are actually on the DL. I don't know if there's a grace period between when they are taken off and when we have to activate them though.

I'm confused, because what he is saying in that Wright is playing, not actually on the DL. If it is just like MLB, then the 10 day dl is a "minimum". Since that minimum is passed, and he is playing (in the example) he should have to activated for the next window in JBL I would assume. This is not clearly spelled out imo unless I am completely missing it...the way it is being described, if I have a scrub that is taking up a roster spot and he gets hurt one time, I can park him on the dl 10 for the rest of the year to free up a spot...there is no way we should be allowed to do that unless said scrub is actually injured the whole time.

Constitution says a player on the 7 or 10 day DL doesn't count against the 27-man roster, and players on the 60 day DL don't count against 27-man roster or 40-man roster. Makes me think that if you have someone on the 10 day DL, he basically becomes a 40-man roster player. So he'd still count against your cap and would take a roster spot.
Based on the wording, I don't think the Brewers need to take David Wright off the DL until he wants to. He'll still count against salary cap and will still take a 40-man roster spot while he's there, so there's no real benefit in leaving him there when he's healthy. However, he isn't healthy yet, so no need to take him off right now either.

A player on the 10 day DL occupies a 40 man roster spot.
A player on the 60 day DL does not occupy a 40 man roster spot
Players on all DLs, and paid minor league systems consume salary towards each team's salary caps.
GMs are not required to pull players off of JBL DLs when the corresponding MLB moves are made. There are no real benefits to delaying these transactions. All disabled lists are reset during the offseason (eg there are no differentiation between roster designations). More clarification will be given approaching the start of the 2018 season regarding offseason rosters
