We already know the winner for the weirdest injury of the offseason was Francisco Liriano, who broke his arm trying to scare his kids. But we're now into spring training, and there's an early leader in the category: Joel Peralta.

We already know the winner for the weirdest injury of the offseason was Francisco Liriano, who broke his arm while trying to scare his kids. But we're now into spring training, and there's an early leader in the category: Rays reliever Joel Peralta.

Here's one for the weird spring injury lists @jaysonst: #Rays Peralta hurt his neck getting out of car when he stopped for sandwiches.

Topkin later noted that the injury isn't serious and Peralta shouldn't miss any time at all. Also, the sandwiches were good. So all's well that ends well.
