Corey Hart slices foot stepping into a hot tub
Corey Hart is giving Ronald Belisario and Chris Sale a run for the weirdest injury to come out of spring training this year.
From Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
Belisario fractured his shoulder climbing out of his pool and Sale is said to have fractured his foot while stepping off the back of his truck.

Now you can add entering a hot tub to the list of potentially dangerous activities for a baseball player.
The good news is that Hart is only expected to be out for a few days. The 32-year-old veteran signed a one-year deal with the Pirates this offseason as he tries to get his career back on track. He missed all of 2013 while recovering from knee surgery and only played 68 games in 2014 with the Seattle Mariners.
Hart entered camp as Pittsburgh’s backup first baseman behind Pedro Alvarez, and could also see some time in the outfield.
