Top 300 Fantasy Baseball Rankings - Nick Mariano's Rest-of-Season Outlooks for Kyren Paris, Teoscar Hernandez, Spencer Strider, Tyler Soderstrom, more

Julio Rodriguez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Picks, Betting Picks

Nick Mariano's top 300 fantasy baseball rankings as of Week 3 (April 2025). His updated rest-of-season rankings and projections for hitters and pitchers.

The 2025 fantasy baseball campaign is off to a hot start. But if your fantasy team is not, it's far too early to panic. Alternatively, be sure not to get complacent if you're leading your league so far. Below is another edition of Nick Mariano's updated 2025 fantasy baseball rankings and tiers for roto leagues (5x5 mixed leagues) heading into Week 3.

These updated early April rankings examine rest-of-season fantasy baseball rankings and player values for the rest of this MLB season. We are following many interesting storylines closely, and they are baked into these updated rankings.

Using these rankings, you can identify potential future risers, buy or sell targets, and quickly examine how key members are your roster stand among the other fantasy baseball studs around the MLB.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and resources:

 

Top 300 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Updates

The barrage of injuries continues. Wyatt Langford was placed on the 10-day injured list due to an oblique issue but the expectation is that he won't need a lengthy stay, which is also true of Jackson Merrill (hamstring). Blake Snell (shoulder) and Justin Steele (elbow) could miss significant time, while Pablo Lopez (hamstring) hopes to be back soon. We're also expecting ace Spencer Strider back in action shortly while prospect buzz around Nick Kurtz, Bubba Chandler, and Roman Anthony continues to build.

Some players are off to a terrific start, while some have struggled mightily to kick off April. Which of these starts do we take seriously, and which do we put less stock into? Is it time to elevate our expectations on certain players and elevate touted prospects into a higher tier for fantasy baseball leagues? How much patience must we show for highly touted players who have struggled out of the gate, especially veterans with proven track records?

Hopefully, the rankings below will give you some perspective on our thoughts on these topics and help you assess the strength of your rosters going forward. Let's see where players such as Kyren Paris, Teoscar Hernandez, Seiya Suzuki, Spencer Strider, Tyler Soderstrom, Brice Turang, Jesus Luzardo, Kris Bubic, and Jose Alvarado are listed in our early rest of-season rankings.

 

Rest-Of-Season Fantasy Baseball Rankings (Week 3 Update)

These rankings will be updated every week throughout the season, so some of these situations are very fluid. It's not time to overreact, and we may not be ready to elevate hot-starting players into the elite yet, either, but it's certainly a good checkpoint for the long fantasy season.

As always, be sure to stay on top of all the MLB news with our running list of 24x7 fantasy baseball news and injuries. And if you don't yet have our free mobile app, be sure to download it and stay on top of all the MLB news and analysis with our free push notification alerts.

Nick Mariano's ranks are updated weekly. They are for 5x5 category mixed roto leagues and will be updated regularly on our main fantasy baseball rankings dashboard all season long. Be sure to read our daily fantasy baseball analysis articles as well.
