The mean IL placements\/year was 634, and the annual number increased by an additional 27 injuries\/year (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001).

Pitchers comprised 55% of IL placements and most commonly injured their shoulder or elbow. Infielders and outfielders accounted for 21% and 16% of IL placements, respectively.

Pitchers were the most frequently injured players with shoulder and elbow injuries being most common. Over the 15\u2010season study period, there was a total financial loss of nearly $9.7 billion due to salary paid to injured players, with elbow injuries contributing the highest loss at just under $2 billion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Injury trends and financial data from Major League Baseball highlight the growing burden of shoulder and elbow injuries, particularly in pitchers.
