I guess the panoply of what a baseball player is expected to do to properly function is so diverse that just about anything can put them on the IL.
I was watching the 16th stage of the Giro d’Italia cycling race today and they mentioned one young guy who broke three ribs the stage before, but he was still racing today.
Different sports can favor greater or lesser ranges of motion. Cycling is about endurance with a fixed set of ranges of motion. But you do have to be able to ride five or six hours up a mountain and burns 6000 cal doing it.
I’ve seen cyclists dislocate their shoulder, sit down on a curb and pop it back into place and jump back on the bike.
Baseball is more nuanced with a host of fine motor skills that other sports don’t require.
