The Major League Baseball roster size does size for the Playoffs since on September 1 the Major League Active Roster size is increased to 40 man from a 25-man roster however for all Playoff games the Playoff rosters will all go back to a 25-man roster however any Major League Baseball player that has been removed from a Playoff roster will not be subjected to transaction moves such as being demoted, designated for assignment, being outrighted to the minors, being traded or being released.
