Now I know that players that are drafted in the Rule V have to be on the active roster (or DL) all season long - but ... can I send him to the minors for a rehab assignment before bringing him back to the majors ??

Did somebody have this situation before ??
Everybody else did a good job of discussing the mistake on OOTP's behalf, so I will answer the question posed about rehab assignments.

Yes, you can send the player to a rehab assignment when he is healthy again. This is just like any regular Rule V player who gets injured during the season, you put him on the DL, then rehab him. Similar to what most teams do to hide their Rule V guys.
