Kipp highlights five injured fantasy baseball players worth stashing in redraft leagues, as of July 18, 2025 (Week 17). His waiver wire pickups for IL players.

A bad first half doesn't necessarily mean a player is fated to continue struggling. It's worth remembering back to last season, when Corbin Carroll, Eugenio Suarez, and Jake Burger looked like some of the biggest busts in Fantasy, only to get ripping hot in the second half to salvage their seasons.

Whether you’re trying to hold onto a top spot, pushing the leader, desperately trying to play catchup, or positioning yourself for the playoffs, reinforcements are vital this time of year Most waiver wires have been picked over though and it’s difficult to find impact players readily available in most leagues at this point in the season.
