Fantasy baseball drafts are well over, and we are about a week into the young 2025 MLB season. It's time for another rankings check-in. Below is another edition of Nick Mariano's updated 2025 fantasy baseball rankings and tiers for roto leagues (5x5 mixed leagues) heading into Week 2.
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.
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has gotten off to a blistering start, slashing .379/.455/1.103 with six home runs, 17 RBI, and .648 wOBA over his first six games. Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez has homered five times over eight games this season.

Top 300 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Updates
Injuries continue to pile up. Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte injured his hamstring in Friday's game against Washington and is considered day-to-day. Texas Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter was placed on the injured list with a blister in his pitching hand. Reinforcements are coming as Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is expected to be activated from the injured list this weekend.
Some players are off to a terrific start, while some have struggled mightily to start the year. 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 Tommy Edman, Spencer Schwellenbach, Tommy Edman, Junior Caminero, Matt McLain, Spencer Strider, Mike Trout, and Bo Bichette are listed in our early rest of-season rankings.

These rankings will be updated every week throughout the season, so some of these situations are very fluid. It's not panic time yet, 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.
