After a 12 inning game, all of my relievers were worn out to one degree or another. In real life MLB, teams will often demote a player to the minors who has options remaining and promote a player temporarily to bolster the bullpen for a couple of games.

When I attempted to do this I chose a player who did not have the right to refuse a demotion and who had three options remaining on his contract.

After the demotion I set the player's game strategy to bench him long enough to be fully rested and after the player was restored to 100% I attempted to promote him back to the parent club. But promotion to the parent team was not enabled. (?!)

Anyone know what I should have known before attempting to do this? Is there some way I can salvage this player without putting him on waivers or DFAing him, (as the game seems to be insisting)?

Or is this a missing feature (or a bug) in the game?
