In a recent game in an $80 MM OL, my 2B Luis Castillo `00 was injured in the 7th inning of a blowout loss. Castillo was playing at 93% fatigue rating at the time. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I never saw a player injured before whose fatigue rating wasn't very low, and 93% isn't particularly low.
What are the criteria, if any, for tossing in random injuries that aren't fatigue-related? Does this only happen in blowout games when theoretically the outcome won't be affected? My mopup pitcher was also injured in the bottom half of the inning, and he was at 70% at the time.
Tough day at the ballpark. Maybe it was raining.
