Yesterday, there was a wave of injuries in Toronto. But in general, across the league, the start of spring training means that everyone is learning that several players are not healthy.
One of the big names we remember is Corbin Carroll. The Diamondbacks outfielder will not be able to go to the World Baseball Classic due to a broken bone in his hand.
News: Arizona Diamondbacks star outfielder Corbin Carroll broke the hamate bone in his right hand and is undergoing surgery today, sources tell ESPN. He will miss the World Baseball Classic and his ability to play Opening Day is now in question.

His start to the season is also in jeopardy. He will undergo surgery in the next few hours, if he hasn't already.
It should be noted that this is the same injury that affects Francisco Lindor, as well as Jackson Holliday. The latter will start the season on the disabled list in Baltimore.
But that's not all. Josh Hader, who has swelling in his biceps, could also miss the start of the regular season in Houston. He is currently undergoing evaluation.
And in Atlanta, Spencer Swellenbach will undergo elbow surgery. It's not yet clear what lies ahead for the starter, but it's possible we won't see him again until 2027.
BREAKING: Spencer Swellenbach just told us that he will need arthroscopic surgery to fix the bone spurs & inflammation in his right elbow. He's not sure when he's having it. He doesn't have a timeline for his return at this point. pic.twitter.com/JLinPxzkuw

What you need to know is that teams try to hide their players' injuries during the offseason. This gives management time to look for solutions on the market.
That's why everything seems to be coming out of nowhere right now.

Parker Meadows had no idea the Tigers signed Justin Verlander until Justin Verlander strolled into the clubhouse in Lakeland yesterday. Had to ask a clubby what JV was doing there.
“We just signed him.”
“What??”
