The latest edition of my rest-of-season position rankings and overall top 300 for 5×5 leagues is now available. I apologize for the delay in publication, as I had to find a new number one overall player following recent changes. Despite several top pitchers being injured, there are only about 120 players in the majors capable of hitting right now.
For all the latest player news, waiver claims, roster advice, and more from our experts throughout the season, tune in to the Rotoworld Baseball Show. You can listen here or download it wherever you get your podcasts.
In terms of outfielder rankings, Ronald Acuña Jr. has dropped off due to injury, while Michael Harris II has shown concerning trends. Harris’s move to the top of the Braves lineup against right-handers could boost his value if he can improve his performance and maintain his approach and power. However, some uncertainty surrounds Harris’s future potential due to his recent decline in power since his debut in 2022.
Wyatt Langford maintains his spot in the rankings thanks to his promising power potential and contact numbers, despite only playing 42 minor league games before entering the majors. With Evan Carter sidelined for at least a month with a back injury, Langford’s path to success seems clearer and closer than ever before.
The White Sox’ decision to promote Duke Ellis from Double-A came as a surprise due to his modest batting statistics in the minors. However, Ellis is known for his base-stealing abilities and went 34-for-35 at the start of this season before being promoted. While Ellis may not hit well enough to secure regular playing time, his speed could provide a valuable source of steals if he gets an opportunity in the White Sox outfield.
Overall, these rankings reflect some uncertainty about certain players’ futures but also highlight promising prospects like Wyatt Langford who could make significant strides this season with regular playing time.
