Top 300 Fantasy Baseball Rankings - Nick Mariano's Rest-of-Season Outlooks for Javier Baez, Jeremy Pena, Trent Grisham, Kris Bubic, Logan Henderson

Javier Baez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Nick Mariano's top 300 fantasy baseball rankings as of Week 8 (May 2025). His updated rest-of-season rankings and projections for hitters and pitchers.

The fantasy baseball season continues to roll on, and we're at the point in the year where you should have a solid idea of whether or not your team is contending for a championship or needs work. Below is another edition of Nick Mariano's updated 2025 fantasy baseball rankings and tiers for roto leagues (5x5 mixed leagues) heading into Week 8.

Use these rest-of-season roto league rankings to identify risers and fallers from preseason rankings and identify potential buy and sell candidates moving forward.

Eight weeks in, you should start to notice trends, so make the necessary moves to turn things around or stay on track moving forward.

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

 

Top 300 Fantasy Baseball Rankings Updates

This game continues to test our resilience, with injuries to players such as Hunter Greene (groin), Corey Seager (hamstring), Ian Happ (oblique), Casey Mize (hamstring), Roki Sasaki (shoulder), Oswaldo Cabrera (ankle), and Tanner Houck (elbow). Returning to the active rosters are Ivan Herrera, Austin Hays, Tyler O'Neill, Zach Eflin, Ryan Weathers, as well as Clayton Kershaw in a few days. And navigating bullpens these days is a full-time job.

We've seen promotions for names like Jordan Lawlar, Logan Henderson, Dalton Rushing, Moises Ballesteros, Cade Horton, and Chase Petty, with others still waiting for their shot. Have you been able to ride the hype waves with successful FAAB adds or perhaps a slick trade? Let the shiny new toys help you edge closer to victory!

We hope that our rankings below help you find your path to a title, so dig right in and chart a course for those championships. Let's see where our early rest of-season rankings list players such as Javier Baez, Jeremy Pena, Trent Grisham, Kris Bubic, Logan Henderson, and Jhoan Duran.
