The remaining two players are like from Joe Schachern, David Levy or Gus Land. There is an image of David Levy with the previous discussion, and I wasn't able to find a decent match for him, so I think the other two players are more likely.

I came across a reference in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (February 24, 1889, pg. 16) that described Land as 21 years old, 6' 2" and 190 pounds. That could be the guy just to the right of manager Henry Harris. I thought this guy could be a match for Jack Munday, but the other two unidentified players don't seem to be young enough for 22 years old. That would put Munday as the unidentified player in the first row, and Schachern as the first person in the second row (on the left).
This photo was previously posted on the first page of this thread, but here it is with the updated proposed identifications:
Back row: Harry Hulin, Jack Munday, Bill Hassamaer, George Rhue, Jiggs Parrott, Bill Whitrock
Middle row:
Joe Schachern, Gus Land, Henry Harris (Manager), Tom Parrott, Harry O'Day
Front Row: Frank Buchtel, Pat Whitaker
Italics are proposed based on the age of Gus Land at the time of the photo,
