This week's fantasy baseball injury report highlights critical updates on key players such as Justin Steele, CJ Abrams, and Shohei Ohtani. Justin Steele, a starter for the Chicago Cubs, is facing a recurrence of elbow tendinitis, prompting a second opinion, which could lead to a lengthy absence and possible surgery. For fantasy owners, this spells a significant concern, as the Cubs lack immediate replacements while Steele is sidelined.

CJ Abrams of the Washington Nationals has been placed on the 10-day IL due to a hip flexor strain after struggling with lower-body injuries this season. His absence impacts the Nationals significantly, and fantasy owners should look to alternatives like Paul DeJong or Amed Rosario to fill the gap. Meanwhile, Grayson Rodriguez and Masyn Winn are also on the mend, with their status needing careful monitoring.
