Injuries are taking a toll in the early weeks of the 2025 MLB season, impacting several key fantasy players. Royce Lewis of the Minnesota Twins, suffering from a hamstring strain, is likely to miss at least another month. His potential return remains uncertain but could extend to Memorial Day. Masataka Yoshida of the Boston Red Sox is also on the injured list due to shoulder surgery and back issues, with a possible return in May if he clears his rehab assignments.

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Gil, who was expected to build on a promising rookie season, is recovering from a high-grade lat strain. He might begin throwing within days but is projected to be out until June. Fantasy managers should consider stashing these players on the injured list as they have significant upside when healthy.
