THE BIG HURT: Hurt file, March 31-April 5

NOTE: This column focuses on injury analysis, so we don't cover the progress of every injured player. We try to highlight the key fantasy contributors, unusual injuries, or situations where the official projected return is variable or not given. Players whose progress is proceeding as expected are very well covered by fantasy news sources; we'll tend to leave those players alone unless we have something we want to add to the news coverage. This column is updated on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Mondays.

 

The baseball season is here! Well, almost. But injury season has begun in earnest. This is our first "regular" weekly column. As said above, we will publish a new weekly column every Wednesday, with updates on Saturday and Monday.

 

April...

Almost!
