This problem has been around for many versions/years. I gave up complainging about if.

The only fix I have found is to demote a player who has used up an option this year. Then place your IR guy on the active roster. Next demote him to AAA. Now return rhe player you just demoted--he is in an option year so no harm done.

If you do this immediately -- in essence on one day--you will be good to go.
