Yes, but "getting some work in" in a game in which it was totally unnecessary (thirteen run lead) led to him throwing 27 pitches and making himself unavailable for today's game in which, you never know, there may be a save situation. With Suarez moved to the rotation, we'll have to hold our breath with Hector.
You're right, the sky isn't falling. But still, putting him in there was a mistake, in my opinion.
