Playing in Tampa Bay has led to a lot of short playing time, mainly because they are always a selling ballclub, but also because playing on that turf has led to some injuries. Going back to the 2004 season when they were still the Devil Rays, Seth McClung needed Tommy John surgery, whole Eduardo Perez went down with a torn Achilles within a month from each other. The Rays were already dealing with Rocco Baldelli coming off surgery on his left knee.
2008 was one of the most injury prone starts to a season we had ever seen for a club. Ben Zobrist, Scott Kazmir, Rocco Baldelli, Cliff Floyd, and Matt Garza all started the season on the DL either from Spring Training injuries, or recovering from offseason injuries. The Rays finished the season like they started, as Evan Longoria fractured his wrist. Carl Crawford needed to fix a tendon in his right finger, while Troy Percival had cartilage damage in his knee.
Evan Longoria had a couple of major injuries during his time in Tampa. He ended up tearing his hamstring back in the 2012 season, which led to another string of DL stints for him throughout the season. Both Desmond Jennings and Brandon Guyer fractured their fingers within a few games, sending them to the DL for the rest of the season. Matt Moore looked like a talented lefty at times, but the Tommy John surgery in 2014 started to hinder his ability.
