Injuries and playing time Topic

I know this sounds like a stupid question but does anyone know for a fact wether a players playing time -- assuming he attains his recommended seasonal maximum -- affects his likeliness of being injured?

IOW -- let's take 2 pitchers who both have a health rating of 40. One is a starter capable of pitching an average of 200 innings per season. The other is a RP capable of averaging only 50 innings per season. Is player A likely to be injured four times as often given that he's getting four times as many opportunities, or is the health rating adjusted based on their stamina/durability in a way that they should average the same amount of injuries over the course of their careers, meaning that player B actually is four times as likely to go down on any given play.

Guys are a lot less likely to get hurt sitting on the bench.
