The injury is considered minor and Kopech is expected to return shortly after the All-Star break.
"We just wanted to skip him one more time and just make sure that he's ready to go for the second half, strong the whole second half," manager Pedro Grifol said.
"We gave him a seven-day break and he came back and had three or four great games," Grifol said. "We're going to give him another break, get that second wind, kind of regroup and take the ball in the second half."
