I have updated my Top 200 Rankings to address some recent injuries to Hanley Ramirez, Chase Headley and Aroldis Chapman's move from the Reds rotation back into the closer role.

Hanley Ramirez, LAD

Ramirez suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb playing in the WBC tournament and will miss 8 weeks, or 6 weeks of the regular season. He should be back by mid-May but there will be some big questions to answer as to how this will impact his power. I dropped him from #16 to #86.

Chase Headley, SD

Headley suffered a small fracture to the tip of his left thumb and will be out from 4-6 weeks, so he should return by early May if all goes well with his rehab. I moved him from #49 to 87 in my rankings as a result. I don't see him repeating his 2012 power breakout, although I don't believe this injury will have a major impact on his power production.

Curtis Granderson, NYY

I moved Granderson down from #41 to 63 in my rankings as I felt I may have had him a bit too high as it was.

Ryan Howard, PHI

Howard continues to move up my rankings, as I moved him a few spots from #78 to 67 as he appears completely healthy this season, and I see a return to the 35 HR, 100 RBI hitter we saw a few seasons ago.

Aroldis Chapman, CIN

Chapman is now closing for the Reds, so his value for fantasy owners improves, as he is the second best closer behind Braves closer Craig Kimbrel. I moved him from #99 to #62 in my rankings.
