If I were a player, particularly one who is apparently so close to the big leagues, i'd be lying the shit out of any and all injuries too, because all it takes is a call-up and then WHAM "my X really hurts, I'm gonna go see Dr. Andrews", because then the entire year on the DL for Tommy John surgery counts towards your major league service time because they cant send you down while on the DL or send you down and then DL you if you claim the injury occured in the majors
