And it sucks, but you look at real life and we're a week into spring training and the Jays lost Stroman for the season, Saunders for 6-8 weeks, Encarnacion is out for a week, Cecil is still nursing an injury, Bautista missed a couple games. Stuff happens. You just have to build a team to deal with it, and know that some years you're going to need 9 starting pitchers.

I don't have access to the developer's data, but here are some articles that talk about the number of injuries teams deal with each year.
I play on High(realistic setting) and my only complaint is that there are not enough nagging injuries. It seems like the players are either 100% healthy or out for 4 weeks
