What historical settings do you use? In general, based on what you are saying you are probably using Recalc? There are definitely Historical settings which allow players to develop, age, and be injured differently than their "real-life" counterparts. So, we need confirmation that you are not playing with those settings.
Recalc should override injury damage when you move to the next off-season, but I'm not sure what happens if an injury forces a retirement in-season. Have you made it to the next off-season yet? Can you confirm that the player is still retired at that point?
What is your setting for "Retire According to History"?
This could potentially be a circumstance (i.e. bug) that the Recalc system doesn't account for, but I think we need more evidence to confirm that.

In this save, 1-year recalc. RATH is on but miss seasons is off. Historical minors enabled, color bar on. Auto advance strategy and league evolution ON.
Mainly default settings in place.
Injuries are just as the game has set them - LOW for S/T and VERY LOW for L/T. Position player fatigue again just as the game has set it, currently LOW.
Aging and dev speed 1.000, target ages default, TCR 25.
In my previous experience, players stay retired when this happens. In this case I am still in the reg season and have manually retired him.
Why do I think it is a storyline? Just a hunch. Looking at those settings and the fact that this is an "historical" save, if it isn't a storyline then it is a bug, at least the way that I see it.
Maybe not a
bug in the pure sense of the word in a programming context, just the wrong way of going about things that should be looked at.
Imagine you're doing a save like this and Ruth or Mantle goes down in their rookie season. How do you reckon that plays out for an "historical simulation"?? A big name like that disappears prematurely and it doesn't only affect the player in question but the entire universe because of how closely tied they are to the LTMs. It's the first domino to fall. Suddenly guys are hitting 25% more homers or stealing 15% more bases than IRL just to fill the void and the accuracy is destroyed.
Career-ending injure a player, if you must. But do it in their final IRL season or thereabouts. In my OP example, Vic Willis is a pitcher in his age-30 season so the effect will be minimal but still, if you're a Vic Willis fan trying to recreate his career with the requisite verisimilitude then you're going to be jacked if this happens. No? The ability to reverse it, notwithstanding.
