Fantasy Baseball Injury News
Rafael Devers (shoulder) plays long toss Thursday
Rafael Devers was playing long toss at the stadium Thursday morning.
Fantasy Impact
Devers is continuing to ease his way back from a shoulder injury. His status for Opening Day shouldn’t be in doubt as of now. The question becomes how often he plays third base this season with the acquisition of Alex Bregman.

Luis Arraez (thumb) feels fully recovered
Luis Arraez said Wednesday that he feels like he has “a new thumb” following October surgery to repair a torn ligament, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Arraez played through significant pain in 2024 after injuring his left thumb on a slide in June but still managed to win his third consecutive batting title.
Fantasy Impact
Despite leading the league in average, Arraez saw a drop in production, hitting .314 with a dip in slugging percentage from previous seasons. Now healthy, he could see a slight bounce-back in 2025, but his fantasy value remains largely tied to batting average. With minimal power and speed contributions, he remains a one-category specialist best suited for points leagues and deep roto formats.
