Non-Roster Invitees on Roster

hopeisnotastrategy · 04-20-2026, 05:10 PM

I'm getting a message that I can't play my first game because I have non-roster invitees on my roster. I don't know what this means or how to see what players are considered "non-roster invitees" since they all seem to be real players. How do I fix this?

They are minor league players you invited to spring training that are not on your secondary roster. Compare the secondary (40 man) roster to the active roster. Then you can either send the players down or add them to the 40 man roster.

I don't see any minor league players on the 40 man roster. I have a few injured guys that are not on the active roster and I have one player that isn't on the active roster.

You need everyone on your active roster to be on the 40-man roster, is what the message means. If there's someone on your active roster that isn't on the 40-man, add them and the message should go away.

Yep, I am very familiar with this message. This happens to me every single time some rando makes my 26-man out of spring training. I have never once remembered to do this without the game reminding me.

I put the "On 40 man" column into the ratings view that I use when I make my final spring roster decisions. I also add the column that shows the number of options that have been used.

I do the same.

Yep this is my experience too. I like the warning because most times, I don't want the player because I moved the wrong player to AAA.

Just look at the overview tab under the Organization tab in rosters and transactions. Any player who does not have an asterisk by there name is not on the 40 man roster and needs to be added to it.
