Two things in regard to what your asking. One, I'm not so sure how easy it is, and two I can't imagine a scenario where I would want a players assigned responsibilities as a backup to automatically superseded his responsibilities as a starter as you've suggested.

To me, I would want to manually make this adjustment when an injury occurs. As an example, playing as the Pirates, if there was an injury in my OF, I may want to move Josh Harrison from 3B to a starting spot in the OF, but only in certain scenarios (Kang, and Mercer are healthy and performing reasonably, my lineup doesn't become to righty imbalanced, who I'm calling up from AAA to replace the injured OF, etc..)

I'm guessing from your want that you are simming significant chunks at a time vs playing or simming one game?
