Team Health Reports

Arizona Diamondbacks

Player Days Lost: 533
Total Dollars Lost: $11.3 million
Injury Cost: $17.6 million

Trend: Neutral. Believe it or not, 533 days is the worst showing that the Diamondbacks have put up since bringing Ken Crenshaw over from the Rays.

Going from 400 days to 533 days is hardly a negative; the Diamondbacks effectively hid a few injuries at the Triple-A level with Micah Owings and Max Scherzer, and I'd rather credit that sort of creative handling than penalize it. Arizona is in contention every year in the NL West, due in large part to their having done a great job of keeping their talent on the field.
