Week 20 of the 2025 MLB season tightens the fantasy clock on IL stashes, spotlighting 25 players rostered in under 65% of leagues who could spark late-season bursts. Bryce Miller and Jac Caglianone anchor the list, with concrete returns in late August to September, plus five notable adds that could swing playoff rosters. A dedicated monitor segment flags Miller, Taillon, Caglianone and others as players whose rehab progress could vault rosters in redraft formats. The focus stays on tangible timelines and avoided undetermined returns to maximize late‑season upside.

Across Seattle, KC, STL, ARI, BAL, HOU and beyond, elbow, forearm, ankle, shoulder and oblique injuries are the talking points as rosters tighten. IL stashes are portrayed not as speculative gambles but practical assets for playoff pushes, with clear timelines guiding adds and drops. The piece leans into rehab progress, line‑up context and the back‑half slate, helping managers map out IL utilization and weekly moves to gain edge in fantasy playoffs.
