How this list was compiled: Built by script, not typed by hand, from the 30 team roster templates shown on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_team_rosters, read on 18 Sep 2026. Only each team's active roster is read: the inactive 40-man players, the injured lists, the restricted list, managers and coaches are not. Each roster states the day it was last updated, between 8 Sep 2026 and 18 Sep 2026 in this build, and that day is printed beside every player as his roster date. Team, league, division, position group and uniform number are copied as the source gives them; every pitcher is listed as a pitcher, and a two-way player is listed under both pitchers and designated hitters. The source marks no starters here, and neither does this page. The roster tables carry no birth dates, so each player's date of birth was read from the Wikidata item (property P569) of the Wikipedia article his roster entry links to. The active sections listed 840 names; 831 are kept and 9 are left out: 0 carried an injured-list or personal-leave marker, 2 had no Wikipedia article or Wikidata item, 1 had no date of birth there, 6 had an item that is not recorded as a baseball player, so the link may point at a namesake, and 0 were under 18. Every player listed is 18 or older on the build date. Trades, call-ups and other moves after a team's date are not reflected. To have a name removed or corrected, use the contact page.
