Not much, as it's time consuming even to collect MLB data. I also suspect there's a feedback type effect in real life, especially for pitchers- from one bad arm injury, pitchers seem to have somewhere around a 90% chance of recovery, but I suspect that a second bad arm injury has a much lower recovery rate.

(by 'recovery', I mean 'coming back at a level reasonably close to, but not equal to, their previous level').
