2025 MLB Playoff RulesWhat Are The Replay Rules for the 2025 MLB Playoffs?<\/p>\n
Managers get just one challenge during the regular season, but they are afforded two challenges in the postseason. If a challenge is successful, the manager keeps their challenge; they lose one of their challenges if the original call is confirmed. From the eighth inning onward, the crew chief can still review certain calls if a team has exhausted their challenges.<\/p>\n

Will the Runner-on-Second Rule Apply in Extra Innings During the 2025 MLB Playoffs?<\/p>\n
No. As opposed the regular season, the bases will be empty to begin extra innings and the game will be played under those circumstances until completion.<\/p>\n
Can MLB Teams Replace Injured Players During the Playoffs?<\/p>\n
Yes. Teams can replace an injured player during a series, but that player will be deemed ineligible for the remainder of the series and the following round should the team advance.<\/p>\n
Additionally, a pitcher may only be replaced by another pitcher and a position player may only be replaced by another position player.<\/p>\n

MLB Postseason Roster Eligibility Rules Explained<\/p>\n
Any player on the 40-man roster or injured list as of noon ET on September 1 is eligible for the postseason. Players who were in the organization (and not on the 40-man roster) by that deadline may also replace someone on the 10-day or 60-day injured list, provided the injured player has served the minimum required time (10 days for the 10-day IL, 60 days for the 60-day IL). The substitute must also be added to the 40-man roster before joining the postseason roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025 MLB postseason is in full swing.
