Week 20 of 2025 narrows the gap between add and drop candidates as injuries and bullpen chaos reshape the fantasy landscape. Devin Williams loses the Yankees’ closer role amid a flurry of new relievers; Bednar, Doval, and Luke Weaver emerge as safer saves bets, making Williams a clear drop in redraft formats. On the mound, Spencer Schwellenbach’s elbow IL sideline shifts him from must-hold to hold-in-dynasty, while Kodai Senga’s post-IL bloom raises red flags for immediate value. Sonny Gray’s late-season surge is still within reach if he avoids the big blemishes, and MacKenzie Gore’s tough upcoming slate keeps him on the hot-seat/hold boundary.

Matt Olson’s Braves still supply power, but his slide since July tempers expectations; Félix Bautista’s shoulder injury seals a late-season redraft drop. Luis Garcia Jr. quietly plates in hold-worthy depth in Nationals leagues, while readers’ requests for Olson and Bautista anchor the week’s broader drop/have-to-hold dialogue. The Cut List stresses patience and targeted replacements rather than knee-jerk cuts, especially with September and keeper implications looming.
