Not the NBA. MLB moniters this and will punish a team that the feel is abusing the DL. I also think Pagan could just be sent down, so why DL him. The Cubs have had a number of conveniently timed injuries in the past...I definitely think it's a phantom injury. Is this really conveniently timed? It's not like Pie was scheduled to come back right now and the needed to clear the roster spot. True, but Pagan hadn't been hitting, and has looked really bad getting to some fly balls. Did Pagan still have options? Could they have sent him down?
