The complexity of injury management extends beyond just physical ailments; it involves constant communication between players, management, and medical teams.

Roberts' attempt to emphasize long-term health over immediate performance appears valid; however, there are questions regarding the necessity and timing of such discussions, especially after a normal throwing session.
