I had a player HBP.

Looking at his stats all of his years have HBP, but some years have HBP+Injury only, not the regular HBP.

If he didn't get injured on the HBP does this mean anything? I am thinking it doesn't, as I am assuming there is some other roll to determine if he is injured or not on the play. Is that correct?

You can only be injured on a +injury roll. A HBP without the +injury is just a HBP

My understanding is that if a player is injured on a HBP as you wrote, and he was not injured, there is a good chance that what came up is just a "HBP" but it is slightly possible that "HBP + injury" came up and he was not injured, but the percentages for a player not getting injured when this happens is fairly low.

I believe the chance is 3 in 20 that the HBP+inj would come up and he not be injured.
