Yordan Alvarez has reemerged as a top-10 fantasy threat, homering in three of his first six games while boasting a .296 career average and 34 HRs annually from 2021-2024. His hand fracture and ankle sprain-plagued 2025 season appears to be an anomaly, with ADP reflecting his bounce-back potential. Shohei Ohtani's pitching rates (2.96 ERA, 11.9 K/9) suggest Cy Young contention, though Dodgers' caution post-Tommy John surgery limited him to 47 innings last year. His dual-threat value could make this his most impactful fantasy season yet. Geraldo Perdomo continues defying expectations, outscoring Corbin Carroll by 70 ESPN points despite Carroll's 31 HRs and 32 steals - thanks to elite plate discipline (.290 AVG, 10 BB/K) and 20 HRs in 161 games.
