What does a player receive if he wins an injury grievance?

When a player wins an injury grievance, the primary outcome is compensation for earnings lost due to the injury. The grievance process is designed to address disputes regarding a player's injury status, particularly when it involves the loss of playing time and associated earnings. Winning the grievance affirms that the player was indeed injured and that this injury directly resulted in lost wages. This helps provide financial support to the player during their recovery.

While other choices can be related to grievance outcomes, they do not specifically align with the primary intent of an injury grievance. For example, reinstatement to the team may occur under other circumstances but isn't guaranteed through the grievance process itself; medical benefits are typically already provided through the player's existing contracts or the league's policies; and while a monetary settlement can sometimes occur in various legal contexts, it doesn't specifically reflect the purpose of an injury grievance, which centers on lost earnings. Therefore, the focus remains on compensating the player for financial loss due to the injury.
