MLB teams always do this....just like with Rodon, where he's getting his feet wet in AZ and then will be in Winston-Salem on the 28th.
It's partially based on convenience, where a spot start is open, location of the game...he will be moved very quickly back up if he shows he's ready.
Lots of MLB teams place their rehabbing players in A ball, it's nothing unusual.
got it, thanks
