Best Answer

When a club designates a player for assignment, it allows the club to open up a roster spot while it figures out what it is going to do with a player. Most often a player is designated for assignment so the club can open up his roster spot while they wait for him to clear waivers. A club may also designate a player for assignment while they try to trade him to another club.

when you hear the term reserve in Baseball it usually is accompanied by injury. which would be an injury reserve. its the I.R. which just means that the player is unable to play but he is still on the team.

What is the given number of Baseball players in a Baseball game?

At any one time only 18 -20 players are actively playing(There can be a DH per team or not) . During play of the game, the most players that can be on a baseball field at any given time is 13 (9 players on defense, including the pitcher, one offensive player at each base, and one batter.)Now if your talking about professional baseball such as the MLB. There, is a rule about a 25 man roster where you can only have 25 players active on your team at any given time. This does not mean if a player gets hurt in the middle of the game or just prior to the game that you can replace them with another player not on the 25 player roster when the game has started. BUT, in September the 25 player roster extends to a 40 player roster. So, in theory at the least, you can have a monumental struggle of a game in September that uses all of both team's players and that would be 80 players used in one game.
