The July rest-of-season rankings are in, with players listed based on their perceived 5×5 value going forward. In a couple of weeks, early 2025 rankings will be presented in the same format. For the latest player news, waiver claims, roster advice, and more, experts suggest listening to the Rotoworld Baseball Show throughout the season.
Starting pitcher ROS rankings have been updated, with several players dropping off the list such as Kyle Bradish, Robert Gasser, Patrick Sandoval, and others. There have been four different No. 1 starters over the last four months, with the potential for more changes ahead. Tarik Skubal remains a top choice for July, but concerns about his workload in September could impact his performance.
The situation with Garrett Crochet is intriguing, especially with a trade on the horizon. With his high innings count this season, it’s likely that he will be moved out of the rotation to avoid overuse. A Rockies starter, Cal Quantrill, has made the top 180 for the first time this season, possibly due to anticipation of a trade before the end of the month. While Quantrill may not be a mixed-league rotation player for contenders, his improved strikeout rate this year has been notable.
