Projected 2018 Injury Returns

Here are projected return dates for players who began the 2018 season injured. These are mostly taken from Rotoworld, and are just guesses. Never know what setbacks injury recoveries may face so don't take them as gospel:

Here is a link to a google spreadsheet that I created using all of Ripner's information. Instead of the injuries listed by team, it is organized by dates that the player was injured.

I like to start my franchise with all real injuries and then whatever happens, happens. This list allows you to go day-by-day through spring training and injure the players according to Ripner's list.

Re: Projected 2018 Injury Returns

This is really hard to get accurate injuries because they have eliminated the different time frames. There used to be more options, so that you could make this work better. There are no options for injuries that last in the 20 days range or around the 80-100 day range. There used to be those options.

Re: Projected 2018 Injury Returns

Thank you for the list!

Just setting up a 30 Team franchise. Would you suggest sending any suspended players to A ball or actually REMOVE from the 40 man Roster (or would that screw the Rosters?)
I do want the capability of recalling them if/when etc?

Thanks in advance!

What??? We cant set the days for the injury anymore?

You can but you are very limited now. There are only like 3 different time frames. I swear there were s lot more time frames last year.

Re: Projected 2018 Injury Returns

Can anyone expand on the original (and very handy thread) to ADD any key LONG TERM injuries to this list?
