Aside from Jake Peavy cutting his finger with a fishing knife, this has been a pretty slow spring for freak injuries. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rooting for anyone to get hurt, but there are always a handful of weird injuries in camp each year and most are minor enough that we can laugh.K-Rod will miss a few days with a cactus-relatd injury.K-Rod will miss a few days with a cactus-related injury.
