I understand that's how the game does it, but it does not happen in MLB that way. See this thread here where it was an issue 8 years ago.

In particular, the following post was based on the 2007 CBA (not sure if things changed) stating that players on the 40-man roster can be demoted if injured during spring training if they do not have a contract for the next season.

I understand the rules are probably too complicated for OOTP to get 100% right, but we should be able to at least demote guys with no major league experience if they get injured during spring training. Otherwise, we're taking a huge risk giving players a shot during spring training.
