The issue I see with trading injured players is that it would be incredibly difficult to get the AI to value them correctly. There could be a potential exploit where you've got a four-star pitcher who's just gone down for Tommy John surgery (and, as always, has the possibility of coming back as crap), that the AI jumps at the opportunity of acquiring.

So, you say, just devalue the AI's judgment of injured players, right? But then you run the risk of devaluing it TOO much, where the AI doesn't see the point in trading for that same 4-star pitcher who's down for a week with elbow soreness. There would need to be a gradient where the AI takes into account the severity of the injury in its evaluation. I'm not saying that it can't be done, but I feel like it would be hard to be done properly.
