It was an MLB season to remember, from record-breaking performances to iconic playoff moments. While fans were treated to top-tier entertainment and moments, it looked like 2024 was going to be defined by injuries.
In the first half of the season, a number of superstar pitchers went down with season-ending injuries. Players like Spencer Strider, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Shane Bieber saw their years come to an end before they really even started.
Although injuries were a cause for concern early, there were plenty of stars who overcame ailments to help shape the year, with some even going on to win it all. Advancements in recovery and surgeries have dramatically changed injury timelines, allowing stars to get back on the field sooner rather than later.
