The Indians have announced their playoff roster.
For those who aren’t up on the rules surrounding playoff rosters, here’s the basic guidelines:
- In order to be on the roster, a player must have been on the team’s 40-man roster (or the disabled list) as of August 31 unless he is replacing an injured player. But a injury replacement must have been in the organization as of August 31. Adam Plutko and Adam Moore (who were not on the 40-man on August 31) could have made the roster as replacements for either Carlos Carrasco or Michael Brantley, who are the two players on the 60-day Disabled List.
