How about just making it so that nobody gets injured on the last out of an inning? Is that possible?
And this problem is a longstanding one. It's not just that the pitcher has to be replaced immediately. Say the home team is losing in the top of the ninth. The home team's starter is injured on the last out of the inning. The game immediately replaces him in the lineup with a reliever. The home team then rallies in the bottom of the ninth and scores the winning run. OOTP gives an appearance and the win to the
reliever, even though he never even stepped foot on the mound.
