Fantasy Baseball Weekend Stockwatch: Austin Riley leads Braves resurgence; Tyler Soderstrom shows he belongs

I'd be remiss not to mention the big injuries from the weekend here. Obviously, stock down for Mookie Betts, who has a fractured wrist, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a strained rotator cuff.

Chris Towers has already rattled off some replacement targets for each, which you'll find here and here. Beyond that, the analysis for Betts and Yamamoto is pretty straightforward: You stash them and hope they're back early in the second half, which is about a month from now.

It's not as straightforward for Kyle Bradish, who's back on the IL with the same UCL sprain that sidelined him for pretty close to three months, spring training included. He had pitched beautifully since returning, putting together a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 12.1 K/9, but if this recurrence costs him another three months, the season will practically be over by the time he's ready to return. Worse than that, it raises the chances of him needing a surgical remedy (typically of the Tommy John variety).

All told, Bradish is the biggest loser from this weekend because he went from being a must-start to a possible drop in the blink of an eye. Ideally, you would hold on until the Orioles offered some semblance of a timeline, but pessimism is the rightful response.

How about some positive developments?
