You still have your 40 man roster that you use for swapping players game to game, however, your actual game roster is still only 25 men. During the playoffs you cannot bring players up from the minor leagues, that is why teams and managers will put guys on the 40-man roster. The entire 40 man roster travels with the team during the playoffs as well, which is why the dugouts are a little more full

There is no set amount of pitchers that will be listed on a playoff roster. The playoff roster consists of some players on the 25 active roster list and any players who are on the disabled, suspended, military or bereavement list.

1 at a time up to 25 (MLB).

There is no distinction in the rulebook between a pitcher and a position player when they are not in the game. A pitcher can play in the field and a position player can pitch. The only person legally considered a pitcher is the guy on the mound. As an example, on 4/30/09, Red Sox RF Jonathan Van Every relieved Javier Lopez and Lopez took over in right field. For 2/3 of an inning, Van Every was a pitcher and Lopez was a position player.

A typical MLB team during the regular season carries five starters and seven relievers, but the number can and does vary depending on injuries and the team's needs on a given day.

There is no set answer to this question.

STARTING PITCHERS:

The least amount of games in the post-season a team can play is 3, if they are defeated in the Division Series in 3 games. If that's the case, each pitcher will probably only pitch once.

The most games a team can play in the post-season is 19, if they happen to tie the Division Series 2-2, the Championship Series 3-3, and the World Series 3-3.

If the series comes down to the line, it's possible that a pitcher might be used after three days of rest. If that would be the case, you might see a pitcher pitch five times in a single post-season playoff bracket, unless he is brought in for short relief.

RELIEVERS:

It is possible for a relief or closing pitcher to pitch in every playoff game.

On average, there are about 11 to 13 pitchers on every Major League team. There are, on average, 5 starting pitchers, a closer (last-resort pitcher), a set-up pitcher (a pitcher who throws while the closer is still warming up, also the backup closer), 2 long relief pitchers (1st inning through 4th inning backup), and 3 middle relief pitchers (5th inning through early 8th inning backup). The starting pitchers are the pitchers that start pitching in the 1st inning. The pitching rotation is the order of determining what starter will start. The rest of the pitchers make up the bullpen.
