The supposed reason for pushing things back again is that he's been "inactive too long". I guess that means they want to have him throw a simulated game early next week in Detroit and then some more bullpen sessions, I suppose to try and build up his endurance and arm strength.
I'm worried thought that this is just a cover for his elbow still hurting. I'm not going to feel good about his health until I actually see him out there pitching again for several starts in a row without showing obvious discomfort or relapse.

I read that he had "very slight discomfort" in a recent bullpen session so they pushed his start back and will see how he does in a simulated start before activating him.
