I'd note too that in real life major league players aren't just sent on rehab assignments to Triple-A affiliates; they can are and are sent to Double-A or lower. Depends, I think, on how long they've been inactive. Starting at a lower level allows the injured player an easier time adjusting to playing again.

I've also noticed that, at least with the Orioles, it depends on whether the minor league team is on the road. Since most of the O's minor league affiliates are fairly local, if AA Bowie and AAA Norfolk are on the road, they might send a player to High-A Frederick to start his rehab assignment, then bump them up to a higher level when they return home (or just bring them straight back to the majors).
