But, that is something you do when the team is playing out the string in September, not battling for the AL lead, as having him come in changes the rotation and other things that have worked so far this season.
So, is a starter, now since the deadline, dealing with something more then letting on?
Bassit and Berrios especially, which may affect post season availability. That is the only way (well any pitcher being injured) he could play in the playoffs.

If he becomes eligible for the post-season as an injury replacement would the injured player be forced to miss the playoffs completely or would it be a temporary replacement?
