Injury Report, September 17

12 ranked players had an injury reported in the last day.

Team medical staffs and beat reporters moved 12 ranked players in the last day. This is the ranked-only list, an injury to someone the board does not carry is not a fantasy decision, so those are left out, ordered by the value actually at risk rather than by when it was reported.

Andy Pages: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Pages (hand) is "very likely" to be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's Sept. 18-24 homestand, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

MacKenzie Gore: Gore took a no-decision Wednesday against Boston, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks in four innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

Garrett Mitchell: Mitchell (neck) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.

The calls

Hold, rosterable value, short-term IL: Shohei (Two-Way) Ohtani, Hunter Goodman, Andy Pages, MacKenzie Gore, Blake Snell, Garrett Mitchell

Droppable, below the ~300th-ranked player, i.e. a free agent in most leagues: Ceddanne Rafaela, Willi Castro, Dalton Rushing, Kerry Carpenter, Connelly Early, Edwin Díaz

How to read this

The verdicts are the engine's, not a hot take, and the cutoffs come from the board rather than from taste: value 295 is the top 5% of ranked players, and value 134 is roughly the 300th-ranked player, the last man rostered in a 12-team league. Above 295 nobody drops anyone; below 134 the player is a free agent in most formats whether he is hurt or not.

Status is the IL designation itself, which is the only honest signal of length available: the feed carries no return dates and no estimated timelines at all, both fields are empty on every record, so anyone quoting a return date is guessing. A 60-day placement is the club saying months; a 10-day is a fortnight.

Value is the replacement-adjusted number the boards sort on, so it answers the only question that matters here: how much is actually at stake. A high-value name on a short absence is usually a hold; a mid-value name on a long one is where roster spots get decided.
