This has always been an issue with small rosters since I started playing this game, OOTP5. It seems the game does not consider the complete roster and who is available when selecting starting lineup and pitchers. It seems to keep the 2 selections separate.

This problem occurs if you have setup your depth chart to include a starting pitcher as sub therefore a possible starting position player as well as a starting position player as spot starter. I start in 1871 so all teams have just 1 starter and an occasional spot starter.

One way avoid this problem without fixing the program would be to make sure the rotation and starter/sub depth charts do not overlap players.

Another is to manage each game and take over the substitution with a human manager. Swap out the duplicated player. Do not switch back to AI manager until after you click start game otherwise the AI will switch back to the original lineups. You can then sim the complete game or play it out. Also make sure that Simulate World in Background is set to no so no other games are played at the same time.
