Shohei Ohtani’s Stunning Rise to No. 1 Shakes Up 2025 Fantasy Baseball Rankings—Can Michael Harris II Keep His Spot in the Top 100?
– While Emmanuel Clase‘s paid leave was announced as being through Aug. 31, I’m assuming he’s done for the year after being investigated in a gambling scandal. Cade Smith jumps to No. 104 for now, and he’ll probably be higher next week if he’s not moved at the trade deadline. I think he’ll probably stay, but the Clase suspension could make the Guardians more eager to sell. Hunter Gaddis could also be in the mix for saves and cracks the list at No. 294.
– You just never really know. Michael Harris II hit .210/.234/.320 with seven homers over his first 384 plate appearances, and while Statcast thought he was fairly unlucky all along, he was still pretty bad by any measure. Now he’s the NL Player of the Week after going 11-for-19 with two homers, two triples and two doubles in his last five games. I can’t help but return him to the top 100 as a result. His batted-ball data was already trending up some, and one can hope he’ll start running again as he gets on base more.
