There are plenty of examples irl where players go on the 60 day DL for lengthy injuries, and 15 day DL for injuries that are severe enough to keep them out that long.

I think that poster was saying that the situations where you need to decide whether to bench a guy or play him are usually for day to day injuries where the player is out for a week or two at most. There aren't many "day to day" injuries that last, say, 60 days, where you either need to DL the guy to risk further injury or have a simulated surgery by putting them on the DL.
There also aren't any situations where, for instance, you can choose whether to have a player have serious surgery in July and maybe be ready in time for next season if you're 10 games out in July or for him to stay playing for you at, say, a 10% reduction in talent during your pennant run and then have it in the off-season, when maybe they won't get back until July, which is what I believe people are asking about.
