The Hamate's Connected To The IL

1 hour 16 minutes

On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don break out the medical charts because apparently the hamate bone is connected directly to the IL. We dive into the wrist woes of Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll, and Jackson Holliday, and what a typical 4–8 week recovery really means for your draft board. Are we buying the Opening Day optimism, and what kind of discount are we applying? We talk about a few of the examples (or maybe not so much) from the past.

It’s not just wrists causing chaos, the injury list is open for all comers. Jordan Westburg, Spencer Schwellenbach, Lawrence Butler, and Yainer Díaz each have their own issues. We talk Brett Baty’s hamstring and whether he even has a job, plus fallout from Anthony Santander’s labral surgery. And what does the Jesús Sánchez for Joey Loperfido swap mean for playing time?

We also relive B_Don’s WHARF draft apocalypse: Josh Hader’s biceps inflammation, the helium on Bryan Abreu, and the immediate post-draft injury alerts for Joe Ryan and Merrill Kelly. Plus, we cover all the pitcher updates for Blake Snell, Zack Wheeler, Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, Jared Jones, Shane McClanahan, and Shane Bieber.
