Fictional team only using 24 players

Anyone ever seen an AI controlled team steadily fail to fill the 25 man roster? Everytime I check the Cincinnati Reds in my fictional game they have 5 starters, 4 relief pitchers and 15 position players, 24 players. The rest of the league is using 25. If I run computer manager on all teams the Reds will increase to 25, but if I check a few games later they will be back to 24.

I don't know what's causing it, but if they don't stop soon the MLBPA is going to bring them to court. Clearly the Reds' owner in your league is attempting to artificially restrict player salary expenses in defiance of the CBA. If any other teams follow suit, it will be evidence of anti-player collusion.
