MAX AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON IS 25 PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT INJURED
6) Also from 2004 onward, in the event of injuries, it will not be necessary to release the injured player. A replacement may be called up for the duration of the injury, but he or another player must be returned to the minors -- "free agent" status in the TSN/SOM system -- before the next series. Managers are responsible for doing this on the honor system.
7) Each team may add an additional 3 players to their active MLB roster (to a maximum of 28 players) after game 132 has been played. During the 2001-02-03 seasons, of course, this is limited by the game engine’s $80M salary cap.
8) Prior to each night's play, each manager will make sure his/her team has the appropriate total number of players on the active roster; i.e., no more than 25 or 28, depending on the number of games played in the season, with the exception (from 2004 onward) that injured players need not count against such total at that moment in time.
