Carlos Correa
Injuries come in waves. One year ACL tears may be a glaring issues while other years Achilles-related injuries may appear to occur more frequently. However, apparent injury trends are often influenced by recency bias, particularly if a noteworthy player or two sustain the same injury. This year tears of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb have gained notoriety as big name players like Mike Trout and now Carlos Correa have sustained the injury. Trout missed just over six weeks recovering from his tear and subsequent surgery with Correa now slotted to follow a similar path to recovery.
