The workaround also breaks the DH rule.
- Add a dummy DH player, add a dummy pitcher.
- As soon as the game begins switch the DH to - . Then change DH position to P. That replaces the pitcher with the formerly DH.
- Place the desired SP into the P slot.
The DH rules in MLB state that the DH listed in the starting lineup must bat at least once, unless the opposing team changes pitchers.

Nobody ever said manager's choice was the current MLB rule.
