On September 1 major league teams can increase their rosters to 40 players. Thus many will be recalled from the minor leagues while others will come up when the AAA season ends in a week or so. Baseball is the only sport that allows for the expansion of rosters.
It gives teams a chance to observe many prospects who will likely be promoted to the major leagues next season. Contending teams can really take advantage of having more players by making numerous lefty/righty moves with pitchers and hitters. I just hate it when a pitcher is brought in to get one batter. It just makes the game drag.
I think the rule shoujld be changed so that a team may activate only 28 players for each game. They can recall as many players as they want, but have 3 extra players each game.
