Yeah, in fact, you rarely see MLB teams place players directly onto the 60-day IL. The only time that would happen is if the team is adding a player to the 40-man in order to replace him. Even if a guy is out for many months, what you see is that at some point down the road the team transfers them from the 10/15 DL to the 60 at the point the 40-man spot is needed.
