Player limits

Major League rosters are limited to 25 active players from Opening Day through August 31, with the exception of any split or regular doubleheaders that aren’t contained in the original schedule or created to reschedule games, in which case, teams can temporarily add a 26th player. Teams may expand their active rosters to as many as 40 players on September 1. During the course of the season, a team may place as many players as it wants on the 15-day disabled list, during which they must remain inactive for a minimum of 15 days (no maximum). Teams may also place as many players as they need to on the 60-day emergency disabled list, where they must remain for a minimum of 60 days, but only when the club is at the maximum of 40 players. Players carried on this list are not counted in 40-man roster limit. If placed or transferred there after 60 days prior to the final game of the season, the player must remain there through the postseason.
