As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the landscape of pitching is set to shift dramatically with a host of injury bounceback candidates returning to the mound. This raises some intriguing questions for fantasy managers: Which of these pitchers do you believe will make the most significant impact upon their return?
Take Sandy Alcantara, for instance. After a Cy Young-winning season, he’s back and reportedly hitting 99 mph in spring training. Could he be a steal in drafts if he finds himself in a more competitive situation? Or what about Jacob deGrom? His talent is undeniable, but can he shake off the injury-prone label and return to his Cy Young form?
Then there’s Félix Bautista, who dominated before his UCL injury. With the volatility of relievers, how do you assess his risk versus reward? And let’s not forget about Lucas Giolito, who’s looking to revive his career with the Red Sox. Is this the year he finally puts it all together?
Shane McClanahan presents a unique dilemma as well. With a cap on his innings, can he still provide elite value, or will his limited workload hinder his fantasy potential?
As we dive into these discussions, I want to hear your bold predictions. Which of these pitchers do you think will exceed expectations, and who might be a bust? Are there any other injury returnees you’re keeping an eye on? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
