We are getting into the dog days of summer, and fantasy baseball owners are grinding just like the MLB players are. A ton of our fantasy stars are dinged up and struggling to stay on the field. These are the top injured hitters that fantasy owners need to monitor for tonight's game.
OF Juan Soto, New York Mets
Soto was forced from last night's game due to a back issue. He exited after the fourth innings because his back locked up. His status for tonight's game is now up in the air. The star outfielder has been red-hot, so he will be a tough loss for fantasy owners.
If Soto does miss time, whether it be one game or beyond, MJ Melendez is the favorite to fill in for him, with Eric Wagaman also being a candidate to get more playing time with Soto sidelined. Fantasy owners will need to monitor this situation up until the Mets release their lineup for tonight's game.
DH Kyle Schwarber, Philadelphia Phillies
