Top 40 IL stashes with Juan Soto, Mookie Betts, Hunter Brown all going down

You're obviously devoting IL space to a stud who gets hurt, but you may need to clear a spot for him
Things had been quiet on the injury front since the opening day reveal of Jackson Chourio's fractured hand.

Just when you thought you had your preferred IL stashes stowed away for the long haul, in came a deluge of new talent over the weekend.

The biggest names to go down were Juan Soto (strained calf), Mookie Betts (strained oblique) and Hunter Brown (strained shoulder), who I've listed in reverse order of how much time they're expected to miss.

Other knocks included Cade Horton (torn UCL), Matthew Boyd (strained biceps) and Alejandro Kirk (fractured thumb).

The former three are obviously must-stash, and the latter three come pretty close (except for Horton, who's out for the season).

But again, you've likely already devoted IL space to other players.

How do you make room?

That's why these rankings exist: to help you prioritize.

They're not one-size-fits-all, because no rank list can be, but they can at least serve as a check for your assumptions.

To be transparent about my own biases, I tend to prioritize the better player over the shorter timeline, not wanting to devote valuable IL space to a player who I'm liable to cut as soon as he's active.
