Rotoworld Player News

  • ATL Catcher #12
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    León, who turns 36 years old next spring, continues to hang around on the periphery of the big leagues as emergency catching depth. He didn’t appear in the majors last season, but got into 21 contests for the Rangers during the 2023 campaign. He’s appeared in 554 games at the highest level dating back to 2012. With top prospect Drake Baldwin ready to ascend to Atlanta, León figures to open the year at Triple-A Gwinnett.
  • ATL Right Fielder #13
    It always seemed like a bit of a long shot for Acuña to make it back at the outset of next season as he continues to recover from left knee surgery to repair a torn ACL. The murkiness surrounding his return, and possibility of setbacks delaying it well into the year, make the 26-year-old generational talent one of the more difficult early-round calls for fantasy managers heading into 2025 drafts. There should be a more definitive timetable from the Braves at some point closer to spring training.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #99
    Strider underwent major elbow surgery back in April, and while there’s optimism he’ll make it back earlier than expected, it seems unlikely he’ll be ready to go in the early stages of next season. Fantasy managers should anticipate the Braves proceeding with an abundance of caution with Strider’s ramp-up in an effort to avoid any setbacks. There should be a clearer picture of his return timetable once he resumes throwing during spring training.
  • FA Second Baseman #8
    Biggio wound up electing free agency last week following his removal from Atlanta’s 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has been a non-factor for fantasy purposes since his 16-homer, 14-steal rookie campaign back in 2019. He split last year between the Braves, Dodgers and Blue Jays, getting into 78 contests at the major-league level, finishing with a calamitous .617 OPS across 224 plate appearances.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #17
    Eovaldi declined his $20 million option with the Rangers for 2025 and will be one of the more sought after hurlers on the market. Atlanta has needs in its rotation even before considering the potential loss of Max Fried, so this fit makes a lot of sense on paper. Eovaldi has had issues in terms of durability, but he’s been very effective whenever he’s been on the bump.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #77
    It’s a significant hit to Atlanta’s high-leverage relief mix as Jimenez will be sidelined until at least midseason after undergoing a procedure to repair cartilage damage in his left knee. The 29-year-old righty has been lights-out over the last two years for the Braves, registering a sparkling 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 155/37 K/BB ratio across 125 innings (128 appearances).
  • FA Starting Pitcher #54
    Fried is poised to decline the qualifying offer and hit the open market after one of the best seasons of his career where he finished with a sparkling 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 166/57 K/BB ratio across 174 1/3 innings (29 starts). Not only did the 30-year-old southpaw prove he could stay healthy, but he’s re-established himself as a top-25 range starting pitcher for fantasy purposes heading into next year.
  • FA Catcher #16
    Considering Sean Murphy battled a wrist injury and put together a poor 2024 season, it’s surprising that the club would let d’Arnaud move on. However, the 25-year-old did hit just .238/.302/.436 with 15 home runs in 99 games, so perhaps the Braves feel that they can get that production elsewhere. There is still a chance the Braves could try to bring d’Arnaud back later in the offseason, but this could also be good news for Braves catching prospect Drake Baldwin, who is coming off a strong season and could be on the MLB roster next season.
  • ATL Left Fielder #20
    The move was reported last week, but now it’s official. The 33-year-old batted .302 with 39 home runs, 104 RBIs, and a .925 OPS in 2024 and was the best hitter in Atlanta’s lineup. He will resume his place in the middle of the order in 2025 and while it’s unlikely he can duplicate these numbers, he should be a strong fantasy asset again for those looking for power and RBIs.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher
    Gonzalez, 25, gets a 40-man spot after striking out 83 and posting a 2.91 ERA in 52 2/3 innings as a reliever between Double- and Triple-A last season. He’ll likely open next season back in Triple-A, but he’ll get a look in spring training.
