Determining rookie status:
A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service and time on the disabled list).
This doesn’t include Sept call ups when the roster is expanded.

Almora in 2016
A) 112 ABS
B) called up June 7 – sent back July 22 – exactly 45 days later.
He was wasn’t recalled again until the rosters were expanded. By my interpretation he’s still a rookie.
