This week on Injury Territory, the numbers meet the people behind them.

Will Carroll sits down with Scott Bush of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) for a wide-ranging conversation about baseball research, analytics, history, and the evolving ways we understand the game. SABR has spent decades bringing together researchers, writers, statisticians, historians, and fans who want to dig deeper into baseball, and Bush offers a look at where that work fits in an era of Statcast, increasingly sophisticated analytics, and more data than the sport has ever had.

Will also breaks down the latest MLB injury news, including mounting concerns around the San Diego Padres pitching staff and what those injuries could mean as the postseason race tightens. We check in on Leo De Vries, the A’s top prospect and one of baseball’s most exciting young talents, and examine Trevor Story’s slow road back to the Boston Red Sox. What’s holding Story back, what does his return timeline look like, and how much can Boston reasonably expect when he gets back?

From Padres pitching injuries and MLB prospect health to Trevor Story’s rehab and the changing world of baseball research, Injury Territory goes beyond the injury report to explain the medicine, performance, analytics, and history shaping the game.
