Episode notes
Injury Timeline And Lingering Risk
- Jackson Chourio's fractured left hand likely costs him 2–4 weeks and could lower his performance even after return.
- Chris Towers warns the bigger risk is aggravation or lingering effects that could reduce his value beyond the IL stint.
Drop Chourio In Redrafts
- If redrafting now, move Chourio well down draft boards — Chris would slot him around 50th overall or 12th among outfielders.
- Consider taking Wyatt Langford (projected .160 vs .130) if you value immediate, healthier production.
Who To Add Immediately
- For quick replacements in shallower leagues, target Carson Beck, Justin Crawford, Trent Grisham, Dylan Cease Lyle, or Chase DeLauter.
- Rank choices by need: speed use Crawford; all-around production use Lyle or Carson Beck.
