Fantasy Baseball is about to get underway. Some valuable sleepers will be available late due to their injury status. Who’s going to be available?

Baseball is set to get started in just over a couple of weeks and Fantasy Baseball alongside it. While many teams are geared up to start their seasons, some players are going to have to wait a while to make their debuts.

While losing a player can really hurt your team, gaining a good player can help elevate your team to the next level. There are a slew of players likely to start the season on the disabled list and while it may hurt their teams, you stand to benefit from their injuries.

By heading into your draft, no matter what kind it is, with a plan to draft a couple of these players late can give your team an added boost down the stretch.

Getting high quality players later in the draft is a rarity and while they wont be able to help you out from day one, they’ll be very valuable to you down the stretch.

All of these players are going to have an average draft position (ADP) that is lower than it would be if they were healthy.

With that being said, let’s get to the players who’ve been hit by the injury bug and who should slide down the draft board as a result.
