Part 5/10:
Turning to another notable but troubled star, Anthony Rendon of the Los Angeles Angels has faced a barrage of injuries, now most recently concerning his hip. Dr. Carol emphasized the chronic nature of Rendon's issues, which have led to repeated stints on the injured list. Unlike Ohtani, Rendon's situation appears more precarious, as he struggles not just with one injury but with a history of various ailments.
Dr. Carol elaborated on how frequent injuries can signal a breakdown in an athlete's body over time, raising questions about the genetics of injury susceptibility. As teams look to mitigate these risks, understanding an athlete's history and physical predispositions becomes increasingly essential.
