A pair of All-Star hitters suffer one of baseball’s most frustrating injuries, the Atlanta Braves face new questions about Spencer Strider’s future, and Injury Territory welcomes one of the most influential physicians working in baseball today.

This week, Will Carroll and Edward Egros sit down with Dr. Michael Freehill, head team physician for the Athletics, former professional baseball player, and founder of GripFusion. Dr. Freehill discusses the intersection of sports medicine, biomechanics, performance technology, and injury prevention, explaining how objective grip and hand-force data could help teams better understand pitcher health, player development, and injury risk.

The conversation explores what modern team doctors actually do, how technology is changing baseball, and why the next generation of player health may be built on better information rather than more guesswork.

Will and Edward also break down new hamate bone injuries suffered by José Ramírez and Vinnie Pasquantino. Why are hamate injuries so difficult for hitters? How long does power typically take to return? And what do these injuries mean for two of the most important bats in their respective lineups?

Plus, growing concern surrounding Spencer Strider and his twice-reconstructed elbow. The Braves ace remains one of baseball’s most talented pitchers, but every update carries enormous significance for the future of the Atlanta Braves. How Strider responds could have major implications not only for this season, but for the organization’s long-term outlook.

If you’re looking for MLB injury analysis, Spencer Strider updates, José Ramírez injury news, Vinnie Pasquantino injury news, hamate bone recovery, baseball sports medicine, pitching health, biomechanics, GripFusion, Dr. Michael Freehill, and the latest MLB injury reports, Injury Territory delivers expert insight you won’t find anywhere else.
