Welcome to the second week of the Fix DL Report. Each week I (@Rich_Migs) will cover significant fantasy baseball injuries. As the season continues, the report will address some of the most recent injuries and their fantasy implications.

OUT FOR THE SEASON: Patrick Corbin, Brandon Beachy, Kris Medlen, Jarrod Parker, Cory Luebke, Bruce Rondon, Bobby Parnell, Jameson Taillon, Avisail Garcia, Matt Moore, Maicer Izturis

ON THE WAY BACK: Jose Reyes (this week), Freddy Galvis (activated), Casey Janssen (this week), Taijuan Walker (next week), Mike Minor (next week), Shane Victorino (this week),Tyler Chatwood (activated), Josh Beckett (activated), Jake Arrieta (next week), Gordan Beckham (this week), Chris Young (this week), Cole Hamels (next week), Mike Adams (activated), Cody Ross (this week)

PLAYERS TO WATCH (Not on DL/DL Updates): Mat Latos (forearm), Derek Jeter (quad), Scott Kazmir (triceps), Troy Tulowitzki (quad), Koji Uehara (shoulder), AJ Burnett (groin), Brian McCann (hand), Dustin Pedroia (wrist), Craig Kimbrel (shoulder), Ben Revere (ribs), Juan Lagares (hamstring), Bryce Harper (quad), Michael Cuddyer (elbow), Coco Crisp (hamstring), Curtis Granderson (rib, forearm, knee)

• Latos will miss some more time after an MRI revealed a strain in his elbow. He will be shut down for two weeks and then the team will see from there.
• Jeter has a quad issue and considering his age and the annoyance of such injuries, fantasy owners should be prepared for a potential DL stint. The Yankees hope the Captain will be ready to go on Tuesday.
• When you hear arm pain and Scott Kazmir in the same sentence, you tend to think the worst. But Kazmit says he is fine and plans to make his next start.
• Troy Tulowitzki is playing through a sore quad. Tulo gets hurt quite a bit. Let’s hope this doesn’t lead to anything more serious.
• Uehara seems fine and the MRI came back clean, but we are talking about a pitcher with an injury riddled past. He also happens to be 39-years-old. If you own Uehara, protect yourself with Edward Mujica, especially in blood for saves leagues.
• A.J. Burnett has a hernia. He is going to pitch through it, but he felt a pull when pitching out of the stretch, so this could hurt is performance.
• McCann has looked to dodge a bullet as X-Rays came back negative after a deflected pitch smashed his right hand pretty good.
• Okay, Red Sox Nation can breathe. Pedroia has been dealing with wrist pain, which would explain the slow start. Tests have revealed it to be only inflammation. I suspect a cortisone shot of some sort with a few days of rest will be required. But it seems like he will be fine.
• Shoulder soreness is always worrisome, but the Braves claim that Craig Kimbrel’s shoulder soreness is normal. His fastball is down is down a tick, but everything else seems okay.

The onslaught of baseball injuries continues. If you have been lucky enough (so far) to avoid the injury bug, maybe it is your year to win a fantasy title.

Here is week two’s DL report. I will be doing my best to avoid too much repetition each week, so be sure to refer back to the past DL reports to keep track of all the injuries. Let’s take a look at some of the key fantasy players on the disabled list entering week three.

Week Three:    

Others on the DL: Francisco Cervelli (hamstring)
