It doesn't matter whether the player was sent down during spring training or three days into the regular season.
Unless you were planning to keep that player on the active roster for the entire regular season, an option was going to be used anyway.
Again, in OOTP,
if a player on the 40-man roster spends even one day in the minor leagues during the regular season, an option is used. (In real life, it's a bit more forgiving: a player can spend up to 19 days in the minors during the regular season without it counting as an option.)
So the fact the player is sent down during spring training is irrelevant. He would have been in the minors anyway once the regular season started, and that uses an option.
