He's also had some rather interesting injuries lately

Quote :

"Mar 26 The Astros expect Matsui (anal fissure) to return around April 15, the Houston Chronicle reports. Recommendation: The Astros initially thought Matsui would be able to return during the first week of the season, but his recovery is going slower than expected. There's a chance doctors won't clear him to resume baseball-related activities until next week. RotoWire Mar 26 2B Kaz Matsui, who had surgery to repair an anal fissure on March 17, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, retroactive to March 21. He probably won't return before mid-April, general manager Ed Wade said. The team originally hoped Matsui would have been ready by the end of the season's first week. Yahoo! Sports Mar 25 Matsui will start the season on the disabled list after having surgery earlier this month to repair an anal fissure. Advice: Matsui will be eligible to come off the DL on April 5, and could be ready to return then. He joined the Astros as a free agent after hitting .288 with four homers, 37 RBIs, 32 steals and 84 runs with Colorado last season. STATS LLC Mar 25 Alyson Footer, of Astros.MLB.com, reports the Houston Astros have placed 2B Kazuo Matsui (anal fissure) on the 15-day disabled list. The move was retroactive to Friday, March 21, so Matsui will be eligible to be activated Saturday, April 5."

Didn't Kevin from The Office have those?

and thats something where the team doctor is suppose to tell the media it was just a strained hammy or something

I had to wiki the exact desciption

Quote :

"An anal fissure is an unnatural crack or tear in the anus skin. As a fissure, these tiny tears may show as bright red rectal bleeding and cause severe periodic pain after defecation.[1] The tear usually extends from the anal opening and located posteriorly in the midline. This location is probably because of the relatively unsupported nature of the anal wall in that location."
