Konnor Griffin has been placed on the injured list with a torn tendon in his left ring finger, which could sideline him for up to 10 weeks. The Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop has opted for rest and rehab instead of surgery. This injury has left Fantasy managers seeking replacements, as the shortstop position is experiencing depth challenges. Options on the waiver wire are limited, compelling managers to explore trade possibilities for impactful shortstops. Current targets include Trea Turner and Geraldo Perdomo, who have shown signs of improvement recently.
