The great thing about the game, of course, is that you can go to Commissioner mode and edit the service time, etc. and reassign the player as you deem necessary to tweak those statuses. I wouldn't expect any update to adjust it when the in-game editing function can allow the user to easily enough.

India - starts the season on active roster, healthy, with Minor League Contract and 1 year of service time (matches, he was an Opening Day starter last year and healthy).
Lodolo - starts in minor leagues as suggested. However, when I purchase his contract, put him on the 40-man roster, and call him up, he still shows up as a Minor League Contract. This also happens if I try to call up anyone from the minor leagues that is on a minor league contract.
I am aware of the Commissioner mode setting. It's incredibly frustrating to try to play a sim with a team where I have to do this for every player I call up, ever. Secondly, if I want to play in Challenge Mode (which is where I typically play), I can't use the Reds at all.
