September 1st has arrived and that means rosters have expanded. Teams can carry up to 40 players through the end of the season rather than the usual 25. Most teams will wind up carrying 30-35 players this month. Every team will have extra relievers and bench players starting today.
The Yankees announced a series of call-ups and roster moves today. A recap:
- Andrew McCutchen and Adeiny Hechavarria added to the active roster.
- Gary Sanchez activated off the 10-day DL.
- Tyler Wade and Luis Cessa recalled from Triple-A Scranton.
- Stephen Tarpley added to 40-man roster and promoted to MLB.
