Because that's how baseball rules are written. And it makes sense to me. Not allowing him to play minor league games would effectively mean his suspension is MORE than 50 games. He can't just come back after taking 50 games off and start playing on the major league club without a minor league warmup. So it would be a bit unfair to call it a 50 game suspension and then make it impossible for him to return after 50 games.
