rotated due to not being able to deal with throwing more than a certain amount of pitches in a given period.

If you think about it throwing 100 pitches of 80-90mph plus warmup pitches has got to have an effect on the auld shoulder and body ;)

restated " are there any MLB health and safety rules prevent a pitcher pitching several times in one week"

i dont think there are rules - only a physical issue
