No doubt it's precautionary. Rafael Furcal piped up and said he wasn't feeling 100%, so it makes sense to give him time off to have him back at 100% later. We all know the impact a niggling injury can have on Raffy, as evidenced most of last year.
Rest up, come back scorching. It hurts now, but the best result is having him healthy and producing, not under-performing because of something that could be cured by a few days off. Keep in mind, it's not as bad as it sounds, this DL stint is retro-active to May 6th, so he can be activated in 8 days anyway.
