injury

I have a pitcher who got a serious injury, could these injuries actually reaccure more often due to certain injuries? I was wondering sence he is high salaried a his contract is up in a few years.

Serious injuries can do a lot of damage to players. They can cause permanent damage, meaning that their ratings and performance will drop, and I think it can cause the player to have more injuries in the future, so look for their health rating to possibily change.

Check the headlines screen, as that usually says whether or not permanent damage is expected.

Is it possible to see a player's injury history? It would be helpful because sometimes a guy pitches lights out for several years and then implodes the next few seasons. An Example is Mike Sirotka, I signed him as a free agent, expecting him to put up a 4.00 ERA based on his history, but he's been a 5.68+ performer. He's 36 in this league, so is it age or was he injured?

That's a good idea.

For Mike Sirotka, it could have been a few different things:
1. His Age
2. His Injury
3. The way the development volunteers rated him

The development volunteer that created Sirotka could have just rated him poorly because of his injury in real life, causing him to perform pretty bad.
