Haven't seen this one yet, for sure. It appears to be a storyline, not an injury message - it doesn't mention any time out of commission. Is he indeed injured?

If not, does the story fit the situation, meaning are the player's error rate up and OBP down recently? That would fit my picture of storylines in that the game seeks out a player who was experiencing this poor performance and slaps this story on him.

Storylines used to affect performance and game results when they were first introduced but my impression is that they have been toned way down in that regard. First, I hardly ever see any. Second, when I do see them, they are inconsequential. (EDIT: On the other hand, if this story is followed up with another announcing his retirement, then it is quite consequential indeed - please let us know).

Anybody else share my impression?
