Five Injured Players to Stash in Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9 (2025) | Fantasy News

Injuries are a common challenge in the fantasy baseball landscape, and stashing players can yield significant dividends. This week, focus on Tanner Houck, a SP for the Boston Red Sox, who, despite a rough start to 2025, has potential to return to form following an injury stint. Shane Bieber, once a dominant force for the Cleveland Guardians, remains on the wire but is nearing a return, making him a prime candidate for those with IL slots. Meanwhile, Matt Wallner and David Fry are also worth considering. Wallner is expected back soon and offers good OBP metrics, while Fry, eligible at multiple positions, can add depth to your lineup. Lastly, Luke Raley, with his ability to hit against right-handed pitching, presents a unique upside if you can afford to wait.

Which injured players should I target for my fantasy team?How do I assess the value of injured players coming back?What should I consider when making trades for injured players?How can I effectively utilize my IL slots in fantasy baseball?
