It's not a strawman. It's not even an argument, it's a question. You stated in your own post that a hip strain or an aggregation of a sore hip kept him out 8 days in July. I simply asked how you, or anyone else at this point, know that this isn't the same thing.
And the OPs point was to shut him down regardless. If he has a true hip strain, you stated that he'd be out longer than the 10 days anyway so everyone looking to have him shut down would likely get their wish. But, if he's not able to play due to injury, I simply stated that that isn't the same thing as just shutting him down regardless. It's shutting him down because he's unable to play. Two different things.
