The injury is a blister so he should hopefully only miss a start or two. Not concerned.

“uh oh” – Rich Hill and Aaron Sanchez in unison

I doubt it’s much of anything; the 10-day DL was, in my opinion, the compromise between teams and the MLBPA in the latest CBA. The union wanted to expand active rosters to 26 or 27 players, the owners didn’t. So the 10-day DL is a way to manipulate rosters to carry a sort of “taxi squad” of a few extra players. It’s fairly easy to put starters on the 10-day DL; it’s just one start they’ll miss usually, and it’s a convenient way to limit their innings.
MLB does have a requirement for proof of an actual injury when a team puts a player on the DL, but most players are playing through little nagging injuries all the time.

They can have a “sore” shoulder, or any kind of “strain” at any time. I would use this to limit my young pitchers, and give them rest. And even hitters are are ice cold and could use a break in action. It’s a very long season.

No mention of Archie Bradley possibly going into the rotation? Does Arizona really like him in the pen that much?
To be fair, Rodney could officially blow up any minute and Bradley is the best option in the 9th.
