To remove a player from the 40-man roster, he must clear waivers. Google MLB waivers if you need more info on how they work in real life. The easiest way to do this in OOTP is from the Transactions tab of your team. You can either right click (I think, Transactions > Waive Player) or drop-and-drag a player to the waiver list. After the waiver period is up (3 days with standard MLB rules) and if no other team claims him, you can remove the player from the 40-man roster again by either a right click or drop-and-drag to area at bottom of screen.
If you need to make room immediately, you can also Designate for Assignment, which will remove the player from the roster immediately. Then you have 10 days to do something with him.
