Gennett hurts himself reaching for body wash

Weird injuries were abound during Spring Training this year (we even listed the sneeze-induced oblique strain and a few other incidents back in March). Yes, they were bizarre. But on Sunday night, Scooter Gennett may have topped them all:

Can't believe it! Literally trying to grab some body wash in the shower (post game in Pittsburgh) and sliced my finger on the bottom of the metal thing that holds the shampoo and body wash! CraZ I know.

"I just found the right angle and sliced it open," Gennett told MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. "I knew [it was bad] because it started bleeding everywhere. I didn't feel any type of pain. I don't know if that's me and my tolerance, but it wasn't painful. I knew I was going to need stitches and I ended up getting five."

Manager Ron Roenicke noted that a trip to the 15-day DL may also be a possibility.

Welp, lesson learned, Scooter. Do not shower. Ever.
