I rarely call up players from the minors to fill up a 40 man roster. I'll pull my older players that didn't make the full time roster but that is about it. Why would you want to waste a month of development to have a guy PR/PH or play a couple of games?
Sometimes I do call up a large number of rookies if I'm going to make the playoffs and have about a week to go. I'll replace all of my pitchers and position players with the rookies so that everyone is rested and hopefully avoid injuries. You don't want the players that got you there on the DL at the last day of the season.
It would probably be strain on the AI to bring up rookies and try and make sure they play alot since usually they are inferior to your starting players(other whys they would already be up). The AI is designed to be competitive and this would contradict this programming.
