Perhaps the OP can confirm the actual sequence of events. BTW I've had to release a veteran or two over the years in the playoffs. It happens.
The other issues have been explained.

I saw that I needed to reduce my roster to 25. I attempted to remove a player out of options from the active and could not, thus, I had to waive/dfa, and that player was claimed. Another player was one I intended not to re-sign, hence the release.
I could swear I had previously put a pitcher into the lineup late in a game so that I could use the DH as a fielder, but perhaps I am mistaken.
As for the other issue, I tried the Manager Options, but the choice for commissioner status was grayed out. No matter, I've moved on, but it was a troublesome process.
I want to be clear, overall I am VERY pleased with this game. I especially enjoy the pitch-by-pitch format. I had some bad luck with a base stealer getting thrown way more than he should have by people he should not have, but it was just that -- luck of the draw. He's 8-8 this season and I'm running him ragged.
