Joe Maddon doesn’t want the “injury-prone” label applied to Jorge Soler, so I’ll go ahead and take it off. And by so doing, I’ll leave behind a stencil that I will use to tattoo a warning label on the guy’s forehead.
Most injuries are just bad luck. Chris Coghlan tore his meniscus while delivering a pie to the face of teammate Wes Helms after a walk-off hit; Kyle Schwarber’s leg got rolled under Dexter Fowler when the latter was avoiding certain death from a collision; Sammy Sosa sneezed too hard. These are flukes and generally aren’t precipitated by another injury or series of them.
