I explained the scenario where placing a TS player on IR could be helpful earlier. Basically it could be used to open up a spot on the active roster by demoting an underperforming TS eligible player down to the TS from the active roster.
Also, don't confuse the TS with the PS. You can also place players on the TS via trade, thus that's another scenario where if you have an injured TS guy it could be helpful to open up a TS spot. PS players are the ones that can only be placed there via your draft.
It IR necessary for the TS? IMO, probably not, but I do believe as the rules were written it is allowed.
