Injury Report Monitor

A multi-source injury aggregation tool that tracks player availability across NBA, MLB, and Soccer. Combines data from ESPN, CBS Sports, official league transaction wires, and team reports into a single unified injury feed.

What It Does

• Aggregates injury data from multiple independent public sources
• Tracks status changes between polls (detects when a player goes from Questionable to Out, or returns from the IL)
• Cross-references today's game schedule to flag injuries that affect games happening NOW
• Supports all standard injury designations per league
• Outputs structured JSON and human-readable summaries

Injury Statuses Tracked

How It Works

1. Fetches today's game schedule to know which matchups are active
2. Scrapes injury data from ESPN, CBS Sports, and league-specific sources
3. Parses and normalizes all injury statuses into a common schema
4. Compares against last-known state to detect status changes
5. Flags injuries affecting today's games for urgent attention
6. Outputs combined report with source attribution
