Fantasy Impact: Holliday was expected to be Baltimore's Opening Day second baseman, but he will now have to wait to join an already-crowded Orioles infield. Hamate bone injuries can have a lingering effect on a hitter's power, so fantasy managers need to bake in some risk with the 22-year-old phenom.

Fantasy Impact: The injury will keep the star outfielder out of the World Baseball Classic and puts his ability to play on Opening Day at risk. Carroll is currently a first-round fantasy pick, but hamate bone injuries can significantly affect a player's power. Fantasy managers will need to stay updated on his status and ADP throughout draft season to avoid overpaying, as he could fall in drafts.
