I think the biggest benefit is simply because when players dont play for a while, their first few games are not as good. Better to shake that off in the minors on rehab. If they crush their first game in rehab, i'll usually bring them back

Conversely, from experience, a player will get hurt in his first game back without a rehab assignment, and then miss an entire year, making you look stupid for signing him to a long term deal, because now he is a middle reliever who also couldn't hack it as a closer....or so my "friend" told me.
