Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates: Luis Robert, Trea Turner, Wyatt Langford

During football season, people complain about how many injuries there are, but those people don’t follow fantasy baseball. Tracking fantasy baseball injuries is a full-time task because we have players going on and off the injured list (IL) all season. It’s a frustrating aspect of fantasy baseball, but it does allow you to feast on the waiver wire and trade market to capitalize on some of these moves.

With that in mind, let’s dive into the fantasy baseball injury updates for this week.

2024 Fantasy Baseball Injury Stashes (Week 8)

Hitters to Stash Right Now

Here are fantasy baseball injury updates for hitters on the mend.

Luis Robert (OF – CWS)

Luis Robert suffered a nasty hip injury in the opening week, but he’s getting close to a return. He’s resumed all baseball activities and could go out on a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. This guy was a top-50 pick in drafts and should be back in action before the end of May.

Trea Turner (SS – PHI)

Trea Turner was the most debilitating injury for yours truly because I have him spread across many of my season-long leagues. The All-Star will be sidelined for the next month with a hamstring strain and has yet to resume any baseball activities. We didn’t even mention that it could also limit his base running when he returns.

Wyatt Langford (OF – TEX)

Wyatt Langford was the best player in spring training, but the rookie didn’t show that same form once the regular season started. That slow start is even more frustrating since he just landed on the IL with a hammy issue. The good news is that it wasn’t severe, with Langford running at 80-90% this week. It’s always strange to see players say they’re running at a particular percentage like it’s a statistical fact, but it’s good news for his rehabilitation. He should do some rehab games in the next two weeks and could be back in the Rangers’ lineup around June 1, which matches his 3-4-week timetable from the initial diagnosis.
