MLB will allow teams to carry 14 pitchers through May 29

Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that teams will be permitted to carry 14 pitchers through May 29. They will still be required to cut down rosters from 28 players to 26 on May 2. The original rule would have limited teams to carrying no more than 13 pitchers on May 2.

By agreement between @MLB and the @MLBPA as the parties monitor player health, the maximum of 13-pitchers on Active Rosters set to begin on May 2nd will instead go into effect on May 30th; a 14-pitcher maximum will be in place from May 2nd-29th.
