Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates: Bryan Woo, Nolan Jones, Royce Lewis, Wyatt Langford

This is an exciting period of the season for this fantasy baseball injury updates article. Talking about injuries is always a downer, but it’s awesome when players come back for fantasy baseball managers. We have many big-name players right around the corner in their recovery, and it looks like we could have a completely different list of fantasy baseball injury stashes next week.

This week, we got rid of Walker Buehler, Justin Steele, Christian Yelich, Kyle Bradish, Josh Lowe, Paul Sewald and Cody Bellinger, and that’s all fantasy managers can hope for. With that in mind, let’s dive into this week’s fantasy baseball injury updates.

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates (Week 7)

Bryan Woo (SP – SEA)

Many fantasy managers were high on Bryan Woo in the offseason, but an elbow issue has kept him sidelined. The good news is he’s close to a return, throwing five shutout innings in his most recent rehab start on Saturday. He threw 66 pitches in that game and could make his final rehab start this weekend. He hasn’t allowed a run through his three starts while sporting a sensational 0.45 WHIP. He could even be back this week if Seattle is ready.

Nolan Jones (OF – COL)

Nolan Jones has been one of the biggest busts through the opening month, but a back issue was hurting his production. Colorado put him on the IL because they need this guy fully healthy. The good news is that it’s expected to be a minor back issue, with Jones resuming throwing and running drills over the weekend. The next step is some hitting drills. We could see Jones go out on a rehab assignment sometime over the next week.

Royce Lewis (3B – MIN)

Royce Lewis suffered a severe quad strain on Opening Day. He’s finally starting to get going on his rehabilitation. The third baseman has increased his baseball activities over the last week and is projected to return by his initial eight-week timetable. That should have Lewis back in the Twins lineup by the end of May.

Wyatt Langford (OF – TEX)

Many fantasy managers were high on this rookie coming into the year, but Wyatt Langford will be out for the next few weeks due to a hamstring strain. He was freefalling down the Texas lineup before the injury and a rehab assignment could be what he needs to get hot. This is one of the best buy-low opportunities in fantasy, with Langford expected back by the end of the month.
