Possible Scenarios Involving the Yankees-Orioles Postponed Game

Last night, the Yankees-Orioles game was suspended in the middle of the 8th inning due to rain. The Yankees had just taken the lead in the top of the 8th inning, so the game will now be finished July 27th beginning with the bottom of the 8th inning. I was thinking of a lot of weird scenarios and wanted to know if anyone had the answers to these probably irrelevant questions:
I don't REALLY care what the answers are, but I think it's still interesting...
1.Let's say Derek Jeter went 0-3 in last night's game..before that game he was on a 40 game hitting streak, after it he went on a 15 game hitting streak and then he goes 0-4. ....and then a few weeks later, they play the end of the postponed game and he gets a base hit...56 game hitting streak?
2. What happens if the Orioles and Yankees make a trade between now and then. Let's say Jeter gets traded to the orioles. Can the orioles use him as a pinch hitter in the 9th inning of that game?...that box score would look very weird.
3. Let's say the Orioles trade away a lot of players. Imagine they have 10 new players on that team by the time July 27 rolls around. Are they allowed to replace each of their starters with a new player. That would mean they had something like a 35 man roster for that game.
