Freak injuries are a big thing in Major League Baseball. Players have missed time for injuring themselves sneezing, taking off their shoes and sleepwalking to name a few.
Add Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez to the list of baseball players that suffered freak injuries. He won’t be in the starting lineup and will miss 4-6 weeks after tearing his MCL when he slipped carrying his luggage.
Salvy Perez slipped last night carrying his luggage and has MCL tear. Out 4-6 weeks.

Clearly baseball players need to be treated like their made of glass. Don’t let them do anything off the field, including carrying their own luggage.
