Dylan Crews - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Josh's top 25 injured players to stash for fantasy baseball as of June 3, 2025 (Week 10). His top fantasy baseball injury stashes for IL spots and redraft leagues.

Welcome, RotoBallers, to another installment of the Injured Players to Stash for Fantasy Baseball series as we head into Week 10 of the 2025 MLB season. Today, we list the top 25 high-profile injured MLB players rostered in less than 65% of leagues worth stashing in your leagues, including names like Reese Olson, Dylan Crews, Eury Perez, and more.

Below, I've listed my top 25 injured players in fantasy baseball in order of Yahoo! roster percentage. I've also highlighted five players to watch, as they could return sooner rather than later. Without further ado, let's get to the list!

Fantasy Baseball Players To Monitor Closely

Reese Olson, SP - Detroit Tigers

Rostered: 62% Yahoo!
Estimated Return: Mid-June

Olson was off to a great start this season before developing his current finger injury.

The 25-year-old owns a 2.96 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings this season. Olson appeared to be building on his 2024 season, which he finished with a 3.53 ERA.

Olson is available in nearly 40% of Yahoo! leagues, so stash him if you're looking for pitching help.

Dylan Crews, OF - Washington Nationals

Rostered: 56% Yahoo!
Estimated Return: TBD

Crews is dealing with an oblique injury, which helps explain why he was dropped in so many leagues. Oblique injuries are tough to manage, but Crews is worth stashing now.

The 23-year-old has the potential to be a five-tool player, and his numbers were solid before hitting the injured list. Crews has seven home runs and 11 stolen bases this season, despite a poor batting average.

Crews can bring a much-needed offensive spark to the Nationals. Stash Crews wherever he is available.

Eury Perez, SP - Miami Marlins

Rostered: 38% Yahoo!
Estimated Return: Early June

Perez is scheduled to make his eighth rehab start on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has frontline starter potential written all over him.

In his last healthy season, Perez posted a 3.15 ERA and 10.64 K/9 in 91 1/3 innings. Perez is only a couple of years older since then, and he's still young enough to build on his excellent 2023 season.

This is likely the last week Perez will appear on this list, as his return is imminent. Stash Perez because he can return ace-level value.

Ryan Mountcastle, 1B - Baltimore Orioles

Rostered: 29% Yahoo!
Estimated Return: TBD

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is on the injured list with a hamstring issue, but he possesses some pop that could bring a much-needed offensive boost.

Despite his home run totals decreasing each of the past three seasons, Mountcastle posted a career-high 30 doubles last season. Mountcastle has also provided strong defense at first base, which should keep his bat in the lineup.

Mountcastle is a worthy stash candidate in leagues with a corner infield spot or deeper head-to-head points leagues.

Nick Kurtz, OF - Athletics

Rostered: 23% Yahoo!
Estimated Return: TBD

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz landed on the injured list with a hamstring injury, but was a valuable asset before that.

Kurtz has a ton of raw power, as shown by his 450-foot home run, but his strikeout rate jumped above 30% this season. Despite the swing-and-miss in his game, Kurtz's power is undeniable.

Fantasy managers should pick up Kurtz ahead of his return, because he can be a game-changer in fantasy baseball.
