2025 Fantasy Baseball: Week 3 trade values and rest-of-season rankings

By / / Sports / 7 minutes of reading

The biggest moves in the rankings at this point in the season are going to come as a result of injuries. Spencer Arrighetti dropped a bunch this week after he fractured his thumb in a freak accident during batting practice, and Reynaldo Lopez is out of the picture entirely after having shoulder surgery that is expected to keep him out for at least 12 weeks. And, of course, Jurickson Profar is largely out of the picture after his 80-game suspension — and you can’t even stash him in an IL spot, making him even less valuable than injured players who might be back later than him.

Otherwise, things remain pretty normal in the early going. I did move Kyren Paris up significantly in both Roto and H2H scoring formats, though more so in H2H — he hasn’t struck out much so far, but that was a huge issue for him in the minors, which makes it a lot easier to buy into him in a Roto league, where his base-stealing will have extra value. He was the biggest mover of this week, going from a total non-factor to someone I’m at least open to having some value the rest of the way. 

Scott White wrote about his biggest rankings movers earlier this week, and while I tend to be a bit less aggressive with moving players this early, I’ve made some changes of my own. Here’s a quick rundown of 10 players who saw their value change this week in the rankings:

Five up

  • Ben Rice, 1B, Yankees – Rice has started against a couple of lefties and held his own, and that’s the biggest thing holding him back. He had some good quality of contact metrics as a rookie despite his struggles, and he’s been hitting the ball even harder since the start of Spring. He might just be a good major-league hitter in a great park. 
  • Dansby Swanson, SS, Cubs – Swanson was apparently playing through a core muscle injury that required surgery, but he’s looked very healthy so far, sporting a 91.9 mph average exit velocity and two steals already. 
  • Jordan Walker, OF, Cardinals – I’m not sure Walker is ever going to be the superstar we hoped for, but he reworked his swing this offseason to get back to what he was doing as a prospect, and he’s off to a solid start – and the four steal attempts in 11 games are especially promising after he stole just one in 51 games last season. 
  • Hunter Greene, SP, Reds – I was skeptical of the apparent gains Greene made last season, but he’s been even better early on, mostly thanks to an even better fastball – he’s up to 99.4 mph on average, from an already sizzling 97.6 mph average last season. He just might be an ace as long as he can hold up. 
  • Spencer Strider, SP, Braves – Strider is on the verge of making his return after throwing 90 pitches for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. He’s been dominant on his rehab assignment, generating 15 swings and misses in that start and striking 27 in 13.2 innings total – that’s not a typo, I double-checked. His velocity is down about 2 mph from 2023, but Strider has checked every other box you could want and looks ready to come back and be a difference-maker. 

Five down

  • Freddie Freeman, 1B, Dodgers – Freeman’s offseason ankle surgery was already going to require constant maintenance, and that was before he suffered an injury to it during an off-field incident. He’s expected back from the IL shortly, but with the risk here, you have to downgrade him at least a little bit. 
  • Ketel Marte, 2B, Diamondbacks – Marte is going to miss some time with his hamstring injury, and his absence is likely to be measured in weeks at the very least. And given his history, you have to expect the Diamondbacks to be careful with him, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was out until May. That’s just a hunch, but it’s enough to justify a move down. 
  • Michael Toglia, 1B, Rockies – Toglia finally showed some signs of life Thursday, going 3 for 4 with three batted balls over 100 mph. But he’s still hitting just .191 with little power, and he doesn’t exactly have a long track record. I’m trying not to drop Toglia where I drafted him, but my breakout call isn’t working out so far. 
  • Roki Sasaki, SP, Dodgers – It’s just been a very underwhelming start for Sasaki, who is averaging fewer than three innings in his first three starts. The command has been downright bad, and the stuff hasn’t been overwhelmingly dominant so far. I still think he can be a useful Fantasy option in the long run, but Sasaki needs to prove it before you can trust him as a starter, let alone a foundational piece. 
  • Jordan Romano, RP, Phillies – It’s been a disastrous start for Romano, who has four walks and seven runs scored in his first four innings of work. It’s not even clear he would be the lone closer option in Philly even if he was performing well, but with this kind of start, Romano doesn’t even look rosterable. It doesn’t help that his fastball velocity is down nearly 2 mph from last season. That elbow injury last season might’ve ruined him.
