Baseball fans, the 2025 season is just around the corner, and with it comes the excitement of Spring Training and the inevitable injury reports that can shake up our fantasy drafts. This week, we’re seeing some concerning updates, particularly with Giancarlo Stanton and Rafael Devers.
Stanton is dealing with elbow tendinitis in both elbows, which raises serious red flags for his durability. Given his history of injuries and the fact that he hasn't played more than 114 games since 2021, is it time to completely fade him in drafts? Or do you think he still has the potential to bounce back and be a valuable asset if he can stay healthy?
On the other hand, Devers is facing chronic shoulder issues that could force him off third base. With the Red Sox acquiring Alex Bregman, how do you see this situation playing out? Will Devers be able to maintain his position, or is a move inevitable? And if he does require surgery, how does that impact his value in fantasy leagues?
We also have Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter dealing with injuries that could affect their availability early in the season. With Langford's rising ADP, should we be cautious about drafting him? And what about Carter, who is being monitored for back issues—does this make him a risky pick?
Lastly, let’s not forget about the rookie Matt Shaw, who has shown promise but is also dealing with an oblique injury. Is he worth the risk in your drafts, or are there safer options available?
Let’s dive into these injury concerns and their implications for our fantasy strategies. What are your thoughts on these players? Are there any bold predictions you want to make about their seasons? Share your insights and let’s get the conversation rolling!
