Oft Injured

Byron Buxton of the Twins suffered another injury Monday night:

In just his third game since returning from an extended absence, Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton suffered a left hand fracture when he was hit by a pitch during Monday night’s 7-5 extra-inning win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

Many years ago, when we were both associated with Baseball Info Solutions, Sig Mejdal sent me a paper on the occurrence of injuries. The most likely time to get injured was right after a player returned from an injury. Buxton suffered that fate last night.
