As tecwrg said, you can put a guy on the 15 day DL and leave him there indefinitely. He'll be eligible to come off when he's healthy and at least 15 days have passed. The only reason to use the 60 day DL is that it frees up a 40 man roster spot and injury recovery seems to work better--in this case though, just 15 day DL him and you'll be able to leave him there until the day he is healthy, then you can immediately add him back to the roster.
