Is there like an mlb injury inspector or anything? How do they know they’re not doing that to open up roster spot?

Probably one of those gentlemen's agreement things.

It's probably just getting a doctor to sign off on it, if it's considered a minor injury. Like getting a doctor's note to get an excuse absence in school. I'd assume that more serious injuries require more proof but unless there's a reason for suspicion who would doubt that any player has any minory injury?

Hopefully the agreement is mutual. 

I can't believe they cut Wallach right when he finally got his big break. Poor guy.

When doing whatever documentation is needed for Trevor's back injury, if they're asked how the injury occurred I'd imagine they entered "carrying the Marlins on his back for three months."

This is my point about how even if it's manipulated it's not necessarily fake so nobody can really call them out on it as long as they don't abuse the tactic.

Who cares if they do. 
 

mlbpa won’t say dick.  Still getting a major league salary and service time. 
 

the ones really losing are the teams honestly.

I believe it's just something had the tacit approval of the league, it's impossible happened to have the needs to put the players in the IL everytime you need to active players.
