I did this a dozen times a season, as I only allowed myself to acquire players through the draft, minor league free agency, and the waiver wire.
I haven't played the game at all yet, but can you simply turn waivers off, demote him, then turn them back on. It might take away from the game, but achieve what you are trying to do.
