The chart below may be of interest. It's a graph of the average number of players who appeared on a major league team's roster during the regular season. It also shows the average number of pitchers who appeared.

Granted, much of the variation in the number of players used is related more to such things as active roster limits, changes in player acquisition rules, and the the like rather than injuries. But it may nevertheless prove useful to review.

Incidentally, the fewest number of players to be used by a major league team during a season (with the NA being classified as a major league for this purpose): 10, in 1872, 1876, and 1878. The most players used: 59, in 2002 and 2008.
