Official word is that a player will be rusty after injuries longer than two weeks.

That would make, sense if the guys is not injured anymore.

I wanna know what happens when a guy's rehab time is over. Is he put on the DFA? Or can he stay in the minors, if on secondary roster. Or does he have to go back to the majors?
