Rotating in and out injured players

What's the best way to rotate in and out injured players? I have a 40 man roster but I have players returning from injuries that were out before the season began. Should I send them to AAA for rehab?

Should I take out other players and cycle in the returning injured players if they have better stats?

I am new to the game playing 2018 Red Sox MLB as the GM.

As I understand it there is a "rust" factor so if they missed spring training and/or were out for a long time it might make sense to have the rehab. You should be able to right click on them while they're on the DL, but healthy and send them on a rehab assignment without actually moving them to AAA and using an option.

Hopefully that is all correct advice. I'm new myself.

Yes you should send them to rehab.
Yes you should replace the worse players with better players.

As you clean up the roster, be careful to keep some less-than-horrible roster filler in AAA so you can use them in an injury emergency rather than have to go sign or trade for someone to fill in while you have a guy out for a couple of weeks. I like to have a C, an IF, and an OF with ML experience stashed in AAA, not necessarily on the 40-man roster (in fact I prefer to have those sorts on minor league contracts).
