MLB teams are worth billions, pitching injuries are everywhere, and somehow clubs are still trying to keep players healthy on bargain-bin staffing. This week on Injury Territory, Will Carroll opens (0:05) with a blunt look at the disconnect between franchise values, player investment, and the often shockingly underfunded medical and performance infrastructure surrounding modern baseball.

Then Edward Egros goes deep on Tarik Skubal and the devastating changeup helping turn him into one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball. (14:45) What makes the pitch so effective? How does it work off his fastball shape and release? And is this version of Skubal sustainable over a full season after everything he’s already overcome physically?

We also break down injuries and rehab concerns around the league, including Emilio Pagan, Tyler Glasnow, Carlos Correa, Jared Jones, and more. Who’s close to returning, who’s trending the wrong direction, and what should fans actually be worried about?

If you care about MLB injuries, pitching analytics, biomechanics, player development, and the hidden factors shaping wins and losses across baseball, Injury Territory gives you the context the box score can’t.
