Pitchers seem to immediately go on DL because they can see something has changed. A hitter it maybe just 0-4 for a day or two . Before you know it they are 1-25 and they start to think he’s injured but by then his injury might be improving a little (like Xander) so they think he should keep playing. Sad.

I understand the internal pressure but the fact that teams don’t manage mega-million dollar investments more wisely is a mystery for the ages.
