Totally not what I said but ok..
I think everyone could benefit from a game or two in minors after an IL stint to get readjusted to live in game pitching.
But
I could see players who are returning to a team that not playing well overall to just return there over minors to get readjusted because those games aren't as meaningful as far as standings goes for the team.
He didn't just get healthy yesterday, his 10 days were up.
I dont care if anyone disagrees, it just my opinion, and I just think that these guys could benefit playing a couple games in minors before returning to face live pitching and in game action.
The other option was Ballesteros and it not like Happ would of missed any games, he still would have returned yesterday. Could of played in Iowa over weekend.
They should if they choose not to, especially those returning to teams that are actually winning. I can see if your returning to the Sox or Rockies
Long time without facing live pitching in game action
I mentioned yesterday about hitters going to minors after a stint on IL, Happ definitely could of used a couple games there facing live pitching and games action before returning. He doesn't look ready
Never understand why nowadays hitters like pitchers do don't go to minors and hit live pitching for a game or two before returning from IL after 2 weeks
