Danley has received a few injuries while umpiring. In 2008, he was hit in the jaw by a 96 mph fastball. A year later Hank Blalock's bat broke with part of it hitting Danley in the facemask. He was carried off the field on a stretcher for the 2nd time in his career. In 2012, Danley was struck by the baseball directly in the groin. He fell to the ground, but remained in the game. In 2013, Danley was hit on his face mask by a pitch that bounced in the dirt and off the catcher. He remained in the game until the decision was made for him to leave the game at the top of the third. In 2015, he was again hit by a pitch between the eyes on his face mask and had to leave the game. While umpiring home plate at Dodger Stadium in 2017, he took a Cody Bellinger foul ball off his face mask and had to leave the game.
