Baseball players have been injured via bike accidents, trampoline tumbles, infected tattoos, dropping piano benches on their toes and now, spider bites. Tampa Bay Rays starter Ryan Pepiot went on the shelf after he was bit by a spider which led to a knee infection. He was hospitalized for nearly three days.
Pepiot spoke to media and said a bug bite, which was "likely" a spider caused his knee to swell up the size of a softball. He was under medical observation for 60 hours.
