I don't know where you are getting the back problem stuff? I know his back was still earlier in the season, but I was under the impression he was just fine now.
Read this piece this morning.

The bottom line was that Rolen had been receiving days off on day games after night games frequently this season to help keep him fresh. Scutaro -- a part-time player throughout his career -- had started every single one of Toronto's 86 games before Thursday.
"We talked about it earlier in the week that I was going to give him today off," Gaston said of Scutaro. "It's well deserved. I think after the All-Star break, I'm going to try to get him and [second baseman Aaron] Hill out of there maybe once a week and give [John McDonald] some more playing time -- just rest those guys a little bit."
