25-man roster

Information about 25-man roster

As with nearly all North American professional team sports, the size of Major League Baseball teams is limited by rosters.

There are two different rosters in play for a Major League club: the 25-man roster (also known as the active roster) and the 40-man roster (otherwise known as the expanded roster).

The 25-man roster comprises all the players who may take the field (or "dress") in a game at any given time. Typically, only players on the 25-man roster accompany the club on road trips.

The 40-man roster comprises all of the players on the 25-man roster, plus anyone who is on the 15-day disabled list, and contracted players on "optional assignment" in the minor leagues. A player not on a major-league 40-man roster as of November 20 may be eligible for the Rule 5 draft. From September 1 until the end of the regular season, teams use expanded rosters, so they are allowed to have anybody from the 40-man roster play in games during that final month.
