I would bet my house that in real life he is probably sitting the next day as well for exactly what you said, "precautionary measures." I feel day to day injuries should at times lead to a player missing a game or two. IRL players sit all the time due to day to day injuries. There should be times the player returns to the lineup the next day, but I feel there should also be times that the player has to rest for a few days, before he's ready to play again. I think this would make short term injuries more realistic. Maybe if this was a card and dice game and I could actually see what "minimal" or "moderate" represents, I would feel differently. We do know the AI doesn't feel the effects are enough to require the player to be removed from the lineup. How many times have you watched a game and heard the announcer say ____________ isn't in the lineup today due to __________ , but we've been told he may be available to pinch hit as early as tomorrow? ____________ isn't in the lineup today as he nurses a sore calf, Bob Toffeebar his manager is hoping a trip to the IL won't be required? I'm in a silly AL only fantasy league and over the course of a season dealing with day to day injuries seems like a never ending task.

Just looking for a future without having to use the high fatigue as a crutch.
