If play is stopped due to an injury, what is typically expected of the umpire?

In the context of play stoppage due to an injury, it is generally understood that umpires do not automatically call time for every injury situation. In most circumstances, it is the responsibility of the players or coaches to signal for a time-out or to address the situation. This is particularly true unless there are specific rules or conditions outlined that require an umpire's intervention, such as severe injuries or if the player is in a dangerous situation.

Moreover, umpires maintain the flow of the game and only intervene under special circumstances where it is necessary to prioritize player safety or when the game cannot continue due to the injury. This responsibility to manage the game without calling time unnecessarily allows the game to proceed efficiently while still ensuring that player safety is taken into account. The other options either imply that the umpire has a more proactive role in stopping play or that they would penalize a team for delays, which does not align with the typical expectations of officiating in most sports contexts.
