Episode notes
Carroll's Injury Impact
- Corbin Carroll faces a lengthy wrist injury absence, likely out until at least August.
- Wrist injuries in hitters typically cause 50 to 60 days missed, making his return timing uncertain.
Best Waiver Wire Replacements
- Prioritize waiver claims for Jerickson Profar, Addison Barger, and Cam Smith to offset Carroll's loss.
- Focus on players with high upside since replacing Carroll one-for-one is unlikely.
New Outfield Returnees to Target
- Add Chandler Simpson for steals and speed if you need those categories.
- Target Austin Hayes or Tyler O'Neill for power and overall production once healthy.
