MLB rries to "prove" The WBC is 100% completely safe and no one will ever get seriously injured:

Baseball got healthy this spring.

 

There were 69 players on disabled lists at the start of the season Sunday, down from 106 last year and 97 in 2007. The only lower total since the major leagues expanded to 30 teams in 1998 was when there were 66 in 2006, the commissioner's office said Monday.

 

Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president of labor relations, said the figure counters those who say the World Baseball Classic causes more players to get hurt.

 

"It certainly does not support the theory that the WBC causes more injuries," Manfred said. "More important, the WBC injuries were, almost exclusively, the type of small injuries [oblique strains] that are common in spring training, with or without the WBC."
