Monday was another bad day for injuries around baseball, with Byron Buxton's unbelievable run of bad luck continuing as he was forced to exit the game after being hit by a pitch. That was the most noteworthy injury of the day -- and we don't know how serious Buxton's latest injury is, yet -- because Buxton just returned over the weekend from a lengthy absence with a hip injury. However, his was just one of several we're going to be dealing with as injuries continue to be arguably the dominant factor now in Fantasy Baseball.

Adalberto Mondesi, who like Buxton, just came back from an IL stint, was placed back on the IL Monday with an oblique strain suffered Sunday. Aaron Civale (finger), Jonathan Villar (calf), Brett Anderson (knee) all also left Monday's games with injuries, and while those latter two aren't as significant, that's still more players missing in a season defined by who hasn't been playing as much as by who has.

One potential side effect of Mondesi's injury that Fantasy players would certainly be interested in is that it creates an opportunity for the Royals to call up top prospect Bobby Witt. There's not necessarily any sign they will right now, but the timing is fortuitous -- the 21-year-old has multiple hits in five straight games at Double-A and is now hitting .280/.352/.561.

Witt seemed like he might be pushing for an opening day job during the spring, and while he has still played just 75 games as a professional, his time could be coming soon -- I always say, once a player hits Double-A, they could always be a hot streak or an injury away. Witt has 11 homers and 11 steals in 38 games and could be a Fantasy difference maker. He's arguably the top prospect to stash in the minors now that Wander Franco is set to make his MLB debut Tuesday, and if you have the roster spot to play with, Witt is worth it.
