Fantasy Baseball Injury Stash Rankings: Yordan Alvarez, Brandon Lowe, Nathan Eovaldi (2022)

Fantasy Baseball Injury Stash Rankings: Yordan Alvarez, Brandon Lowe, Nathan Eovaldi (2022)

I won’t lie; it’s a devastating week. Losing a player of Wander Franco‘s caliber for any time is always tough to endure. But we’ve also had some noteworthy “graduations” from the injured list, including names like Kenley Jansen, Chris Bassitt, Tyler Stephenson and Ty France. You’ve gotta take the bad with the good.

What follows are my top-10 players to stash in fantasy baseball right now, followed by the top players of note at each position. Let’s get into it.

Top-10 Players to Stash Right Now

1 Jacob deGrom (P – NYM)
2 Yordan Alvarez (OF – HOU)
3 Jazz Chisholm Jr. (2B, SS – MIA)
4 Brandon Lowe (2B, OF – TB)
5 Tyler O’Neill (OF – STL)
6 Nathan Eovaldi (P – BOS)
7 Harrison Bader (OF – STL)
8 Fernando Tatis Jr. (SS, OF – SD)
9 Wander Franco (3B, SS – TB)
10 Bryce Harper (OF – PHI)

Brandon Lowe never really got going this season, but I’m rooting for his power production right now, given that his return seems imminent. Tyler Mahle and Jeffrey Springs were also in consideration for the top-10, but they aren’t as close as the other two arms are, and I’m a big Nathan Eovaldi fan.

There are a lot of different profiles here and probably plenty of availability with these players in shallow formats. Freddy Peralta, Andrew Heaney, Jakob Junis, and Domingo German are some of my favorite names to stash right now.
