I see that several of your injuries are relatively minor, so you can expect to have those guys back, maybe with a rehab stint in the minors. And you should have a relatively deep bench and solid minor leagues with the Rangers.

Curious how the other teams are faring. Are the Rangers something of an outlier?

Finally, don’t know if you are only GM or managing games, but examine whether any of the injuries can be linked to tired, exhausted guys not getting adequate rest. I learned the hard way with a sim where I prevented the AI manager from varying from the daily lineups I set, such that players could not get a day off. (When the game announces that a player of mine has a day-to-day injury, that player sits for a day or two, unless the pennant is on the line.) The game does an effective job of penalizing that lack of care. Injuries can be the direct result of fatigue, as IRL.
Hi and thanks for responding. I started OOTP with version 21. I have never altered any settings. My team does have the most injuries in MLB. I scrolled through all teams and I lead the league. I rest any and all players while they have those yellow bars. Always watch the pitch count.
