Could a $59 piece of equipment have saved the Los Angeles Dodgers season?

On this episode of Injury Territory, Will Carroll explains how a simple piece of foam and plastic may have helped keep Shohei Ohtani healthy enough to dominate both on the mound and at the plate. In an era of billion-dollar rosters and cutting-edge sports science, the answer to one of baseball’s biggest injury questions may be surprisingly inexpensive.

We also break down the latest MLB injury news, including updates on Hunter Greene, Francisco Alvarez, and Kenley Jansen, while checking in on the growing list of players making successful returns from injury.

Meanwhile, Edward Egros takes a deep dive into one of the most important trends in modern baseball analytics: the decline of the fastball. Across MLB, pitchers are throwing fewer fastballs than ever before. Is the shift helping reduce injury risk? Is it leading to better results? And what does the data say about the future of pitching development, workload management, and arm health?

Plus, we examine the return of baseball’s “loose bodies” club, including Edwin Díaz and Blake Snell, and discuss what their recoveries can teach us about durability, flexibility, and staying on the field.

If you’re looking for MLB injury analysis, Shohei Ohtani updates, Dodgers news, baseball analytics, pitching mechanics, sports medicine, Tommy John prevention, and the latest injury reports from around Major League Baseball, Injury Territory delivers the insight behind the headlines every week.
