injuries under the new patch

Elendil · 05-03-2017, 09:20 PM

I've played a month in my MLB league since installing the patch, and 12 guys around the league have gone down with season-ending injuries in that time (it's June 1). I was glad to hear about a slight upward tweak in the pitcher injury rate, but the increase in the rate of serious injuries is remarkable. However, it could be just bad luck. What are the rest of you seeing?

Well have you seen RL right now? While most are not season enders: Steven Wright, Matz, Hamels, Syndergaard, Volquez, Shields, Rondon, Kluber, Aaron Sanchez, Rich Hill, Ryu, Tyler Skaggs, Sonny Gray, Manaea, Shelby Miller, Bumgarner, Felix Hernandez, Clay Bucholz, Koda Glover, Sammy Solis, Mike Dunn, and countless others have been on the 10-Day DL at least.

There are a lot of pitchers getting hurt this year, and many of these roster moves are due to the new 10-Day DL rule. Personally, I'm fine with the uptick in injuries, it allows us to really make sure we have proper minor league depth, and adds a bit of realism to the game with the flexibility and looseness that pitchers are being used injury wise.
