There is an epidemic of weird injuries ripping through baseball, with Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin the latest victim.
According to manager John Gibbons, Martin will miss a few days after injuring his knee in the shower — because he became lightheaded from staying in the sauna for too long.

Martin clarified his status, saying he passed out because he hadn’t eaten enough.
Martin: Stayed in the sauna too long, didn't eat enough. Passed out in the shower. No concussion, no structural damage to knee. #Bluejays

Be careful when showering after a trip to the sauna, everyone. It’s dangerous. Not as dangerous as a broken beer mug, but still dangerous.
