Injury Alert: Which Stars Are Facing a Rocky Start to the Season? 

Injuries are an inevitable part of baseball, but the recent updates on players like George Kirby, Gerrit Cole, and Gunnar Henderson have left many of us scratching our heads. With Kirby's shoulder inflammation and Cole's elbow issues, how do we navigate our fantasy drafts? Are we overreacting to these injuries, or should we be cautious and adjust our rankings accordingly?

Let's dive into the implications of these injuries. For instance, Kirby was considered one of the safest picks, but now he’s sliding down draft boards. Is it time to rethink our strategies on young pitchers with injury histories? And what about Cole? If he’s out for an extended period, how does that impact the Yankees' rotation and your fantasy team?

Then there's Gunnar Henderson, who had a breakout season last year but is now dealing with an intercostal strain. Should we be worried about his ability to replicate last year's success? Is it worth taking the risk on him in the early rounds, or should we play it safe and look for alternatives?

And let’s not forget the comical yet concerning injury to Jordan Walker, who stepped on a sprinkler. It’s a reminder that injuries can come from the most unexpected places. How do you factor in the unpredictability of injuries when drafting your team?
