Happens frequent enough in European soccer that 'failing the physical' is met with a heavy dose of skepticism, to the point that actual medical issues are pretty much met with surprise.
Heard from a reliable source that there's enough damage in the arm of any MLB pitcher to 'fail' any of them. It's a handy excuse to nix a trade or signing when the team has second thoughts.
Sometimes something legit does come up. For example Antonee Robinson, a soccer player on the US Men's National Team, failed a last minute physical before a short term loan that turned up a possible heart issue. The issue wound up being minor, but he did have to miss some time for treatment.
