But time on the DL counts as major league service. So he should have 21 days of service from participating in games plus whatever number of days he was on the disabled list.

Aside from a few exceptions, generally a player on the DL cannot be assigned to a minor league team. He would have to have been reinstated first and then assigned outright to a minor league club (which is the only way he can be in the minors and no longer on the 40-man roster).
