Hey Matt
Why are the players remaining in AAA when it is saying "returns from rehab assignment"?
They are no longer listed on the IL page and simply just on AAA as if they were optioned (even if the season is over).
For someone like Kyle Gibson coming off the 60 day, he was not "required" to be added back to 40man roster, which is unrealistic.
