From my notes from the Desert Classic:

Injuries due to the scissors stance at the Major League level have become so predictable, expensive and, in the view of the insurance carriers, preventable, that they no longer will cover them. Most "scissor" umpires have switched and no MiLB umpires below AAA are allowed to use the stance. The few who have been "grandfathered" are still urged to change..
