Jose Canseco tore up his elbow throwing knuckle balls in relief pitching appearance. Think he had to get Tommy John.
Let that sink in...he was making huge money towards the end of his As contract.

Date: May 29, 1993 [1]
Team: Texas Rangers (playing against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park) [1]
Situation: The Rangers were trailing in a blowout loss when outfielder/designated hitter Jose Canseco volunteered to pitch the final inning to save the bullpen. [1, 2]
The Injury: Canseco felt a twinge in his elbow during the appearance. Though he returned to playing as a hitter for a short period, the arm discomfort worsened, and further throws aggravated the damage. [1, 2, 3]

Bobby Ojeda's Gardening Accident

Details of the Injury
Type of Injury: Severed finger
Cause: Accident with electric hedge clippers
Surgery: Required reattachment of the finger
Recovery: Ojeda missed the remainder of the 1988 season
Impact on Career
Performance Before Injury: Ojeda had a strong season with a 2.88 ERA prior to the accident.
Post-Injury Struggles: After returning, he struggled to regain his previous form and was eventually moved to the bullpen.

This incident is remembered as one of the most bizarre injuries in baseball history, highlighting the unpredictable nature of accidents even outside the field.

Finau popped it back into place and played the Masters tournament in 2018. He didn't withdraw.

Another vote for head butting Gus Frerotte who did it during a televised game, no less.

I think the Mich St player who returned the game winning blocked punt against Michigan had a Bo Jasckson-like career ending injury after his teammates piled on him in the endzone.

Wasn’t Adrian McPherson hit by the mascot’s golf cart before a Saints preseason game and forced to miss it?

Wasn’t there a Louisville WR who broke his after catching a td and while slowing down he ran into a metal equipment cart right there and broke his league

Not the most gruesome but embarrassing. In 2002, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Marty Cordova missed a few games after falling asleep in a tanning bed and suffering a severe facial sunburn

Dunno how no one has said it, has to be Greenlaw tearing his ACL in the super bowl entering the field though

Maybe not dumbest but one of the most bizarre was Vince Coleman and the tarp at Busch Stadium.
