Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Updates for Bryce Harper, Cole Ragans, Pablo Lopez, Tyler Glasnow, Max Meyer, Michael King, Luke Weaver, Yordan Alvarez

One of the things I noticed when compiling this week's list of injured players is the number of injuries related to the oblique muscle. Also known as "side pain/discomfort," this muscle is located on both sides of our bodies, basically between the hip and the armpit. They are also close to the lower abdomen as […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Week 10 Updates for Yordan Alvarez, Nick Kurtz, Hunter Greene, Mark Vientos, Corbin Burnes, Michael King, Pablo Lopez

This past week has not been a good week for pitchers and injuries. It seems like pitchers were getting hurt more often than position players. In general, pitchers have a higher landing rate on the IL than hitters. The question is how to deal with it, and that is an overall strategy question/answer and not […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Week 9 Updates for Alex Bregman, Xavier Edwards, Aaron Nola, Luis Gil, Nick Kurtz, Mike Trout, Yordan Alvarez, more

Memorial Day has come and gone. We are at the part of the MLB season when flukes are no longer flukes, and slumps are not just considered short-term things.

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Week 8 Updates for Ronald Acuna, Corey Seager, Cole Ragans, Yordan Alvarez, Byron Buxton, Mike Trout, Casey Mize, more

As the baseball season rolls along, players are added to and taken off the IL. Sometimes, players are added to the IL rather quickly, while others take a few days to try to "get over" the issue without landing on the IL. Usually, starting pitchers go on the IL quickly, while hitters and relief pitchers […]

The fantasy season is now more than six weeks old. What we think as maybe a short-term deficiency on our rosters may be long-term issues.

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report - Week 4 Updates for Ronald Acuna Jr., Wyatt Langford, Royce Lewis, Clayton Kershaw, Masyn Winn, Ben Joyce, more

As the weather warms up, so does baseball season. We are starting to see who will be the breakthrough players this year and who will slump.

Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Updates: Austin Riley, Anthony Rizzo, Jacob deGrom, Tyler Glasnow and much more....

This past week, I did something in one of my fantasy leagues that I have never done before. I picked up a 2-start pitcher, Martin Perez, to NOT play him. I picked him up so other teams in my league could not get him, and the possibility of teams chasing me, getting two wins this […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Updates: Jazz Chisolm, Jacob deGrom, Riley Greene, Byron Buxton, Liam Hendriks and much more!

There are only six weeks left in the fantasy baseball regular season. For some, it is less because of playoffs. This means that there is only a handful of waiver wire pickups to acquire from now until the end of the year. This is also the time of year when we start hearing that some […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Updates: Jordan Romano, Max Scherzer, Zac Gallen, Max Muncy and more....

This has been a rough week in the injury department for pitchers. Four fantasy-relevant pitchers were scheduled for Tommy John surgery. Another two pitchers were placed on the IL with the unlucky injury called "forearm/flexor tendon strain." I thought this would be a good week to talk a little about elbow injuries and pitchers. When […]
