This is not necessarily true. If the game reflects real life one pitcher could well pitch a ton and not get hurt. Pitchers did it often in the earliest years of baseball. So some percentage of pitchers should be able to pitch huge workloads and not get hurt. If this one pitcher does not get hurt, then he could just be one of those.
Or if he gets hurt he could just be unlucky.
To get a real measure you need to do a reasonable number of them and get an injury rate, then do another set that throw on pitch counts, then do another set with no pitch counts but 5-day rotations.
Otherwise, your example is interesting, but not particularly significant to the question.
