Five Injured Players to Stash in Fantasy Baseball - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2 (2025) | Fantasy News

As the 2025 fantasy baseball season unfolds, stashing injured players can yield significant dividends. Max Scherzer, playing for the Toronto Blue Jays, is set to return soon after an early-season injury, boasting an impressive strikeout rate that could bolster your rotation. Milwaukee's Tobias Myers, with a stellar 2024, is a potential steal given his low roster percentage and expected return from injury in late April.

Zack Gelof provides speed on the basepaths, having stolen 25 bases last season, though his batting average raises concerns. Miami's Jesus Sanchez combines power and speed, hitting 18 homers and stealing 16 bases last year, positioning him as a strong add for teams needing offensive support. Lastly, Masataka Yoshida from the Red Sox presents a solid batting average option and run production in an upgraded lineup.
