Yordan Alvarez, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Teoscar Hernandez are all on the injured list, but promising signs suggest they could return soon. Alvarez has made progress with a hand injury and is expected to be back shortly, possibly during the Astros’ series against the Rangers. Acuna, recovering from a significant knee injury, launched a home run in his rehab game and is anticipated to return to the Braves lineup before the end of May. Hernandez, who is dealing with a hamstring issue, is also ramping up his activities and may return within weeks.

Injury updates for these key players are crucial for fantasy managers as they navigate a season marked by injuries to stars like Mike Trout and Blake Snell. Keeping Alvarez, Acuna, and Hernandez on the IL for now is advisable, as their return could significantly impact lineups.
