Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers is the latest impact player in fantasy baseball to suffer an injury, as he was placed on the disabled list June 12 with lower back discomfort. The 23-year-old has been lights-out this season, pitching to a 2.58 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 89 strikeouts in 76.2 innings. The good news is he may only miss one start. There's a chance McCullers will be on an innings limit this year, which fantasy owners need to monitor, so this time off could be a blessing in disguise.
Before we get into our waiver-wire targets, if you are a fantasy owner who is hurting in steals, this is a prime week for you to find players who will help in that category.
