What determines whether a player goes on a rehab assignment or not?

[Torridd]

It appears that Walsh won't need one.

Typically if cocaine is involved the team and society in general will recommend rehab. Josh Hamilton comes to mind.

When the team and player feels they've been out of game action long enough to need to get back into a rhythm/get their timing?

 

Seems pretty obvious.

Trout hasn't even begun any baseball activities so a minor league rehab assignment is probably weeks away at minimum.

Shut him down and hope his calf will heal by next Spring.

But isn't part of the healing process hitting, running and catching? I assume that's what's Walsh is doing. He's been out two weeks. How long do you need to be out to be "rusty?"

I'm just gonna assume each player is different in regards to their level of comfort jumping right back into games. Some are better to adjust than others.

 

Sometimes it's obvious to everyone when they would need some time, like Trout.

There's no "rule" or sliding scale that says if you've missed x amount of games then you rehab for x amount of games to compensate. It's evaluated on an individual basis.

So you're saying it's up to the player?

So we’re saying the supposed best player in the game should have a few outings at AA or AAA in case what, he strike outs a few times in his first few games back? Or is it the running down a fly ball in the minors is easier?
