Fantasy Insights: Yankees get time to heal

A lengthy delay to the start of the 2020 season may get Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton back on the field, but how long will they stay there? Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Spring is here and Eric Karabell misses baseball, so he is going to write about all 30 MLB teams over the next few months, covering myriad player values and his general thoughts for what he hopes will ultimately be a fruitful 2020 season.

Top fantasy storyline: Perhaps no team will be aided more by a lengthy season delay than the Yankees, as many key players are recovering from injury. One presumes that when baseball returns, outfielders Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf), and left-hander James Paxton (back) will all be ready for action -- and perhaps outfielder Aaron Hicks (elbow) will be close behind them.
