The MLB has a 40-man roster, active roster, injured reserve list, etc...
My question
1. How many players can a team start a game with?

25 players, until the rosters are expanded (as they are now). Teams will have their 5 starters (4 of which do nothing on days they're not pitching), 8 players, 7 bullpen guys and 5 bench guys. This is just an example.

Nine players. The rest are substitutes. Except in the American League which uses the Designated Hitter. They start with 10.
