This happens a lot, and I think it's one of the reasons to use historical lineups and transactions in tandem. Transaction files in BB Reference are incomplete that far back and do not encompass every roster change. It's the same reason historical transactions don't work with historical minors. If you use actual lineups, put the service returnees on the reserve roster until they appear in a lineup.
