This is a false statement.
As for the thread topic, I think it is a decision that management should take along with the player. Also, if this has been the plan the entire year, the organization went about it all wrong. Why not skip a start here and there over the course of an entire season, have him skip his start before/after the all star game, etc to ensure that he can make it through the season without crossing their threshold.
