As the MLB season progresses, keeping an eye on injured stars can tilt the balance in any fantasy league. Players like Yordan Alvarez and Ronald Acuña Jr. top the list of injured but high-impact players that savvy managers might consider stashing. Alvarez's hand injury poses uncertainty, while Acuña is eyeing a return in late May. The New York Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. also deserves monitoring despite his oblique injury, as his previous season showcased impressive 24-home run and 40-stolen base potential.

Other noteworthy injured players to watch include Colton Cowser of the Baltimore Orioles, who is recovering from a thumb injury with a projected return in early June. His prior season's output suggests he could significantly contribute once healthy. Similarly, Dylan Moore, a versatile player for Seattle, is expected back soon and has been performing well before his hip injury. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler's mild shoulder issue might see him return to Boston's rotation by mid-May, making him a valuable asset. With strategic stashing, fantasy managers can turn injuries into opportunities.
