buildkit-ai 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
| Status | Sports | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Out | NBA, Soccer | Will not play |
| Doubtful | NBA | Unlikely to play (25% chance) |
| Questionable | NBA | Uncertain (50% chance) |
| Probable | NBA | Likely to play (75% chance) |
| Day-to-Day | NBA, MLB | Re-evaluated daily |
| IL (10/15/60) | MLB | Injured list with minimum days |
| Suspended | All | League suspension, not injury |
| Injured | Soccer | General injury, no official grading |

- Parses and normalizes all injury statuses into a common schema
- Compares against last-known state to detect status changes
- Flags injuries affecting today's games for urgent attention
- Outputs combined report with source attribution
