Starting Pitcher Injuries

[kcroyalty29]

In first game of 2020 season, in the second inning, Danny Duffy tears his UCL and needs Tommy John for my Royals.

In fourth game, Jake Junis leaves in the first inning with a "sore elbow" but is day to day.

Shane Bieber of Cleveland also tore his UCL and needs Tommy John after game one.

Is this a bug or just normal and will iron itself out as the season goes on?

Thanks!

In the last 48 hours, 3 MLB and a minor league pitcher have had Tommy John and we're not even playing games. So, yea normal sounds about right.

Also, there is a behind the scenes “rust” rating that makes the chance of a player getting hurt in their first game / maybe small group of games back from a long rest higher. This was added based on statistical study and a similar process existed all the way back in Sierra Online’s Baseball Pro games.

May be my imagination but it sure does seem the pitcher injuries are far more frequent and severe than everyday players injuries

I always start the season with a team pitching staff limit of 90 pitches, and every turn through up it by 5 until I get to the fifth turn through where I turn it off. I took the "rust factor" into account. I have no idea if that actually works or not but it's what I set my mind to!
