Fantasy baseball managers are eagerly awaiting the returns of Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Josh Lowe in the 2025 MLB season. Ohtani, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is making significant strides in his recovery and is expected to pitch by the summer. His impressive stats from previous seasons make him a valuable stash in fantasy leagues. Acuña is also close to returning after recovering from a second torn ACL and could be back in early May, though his running may be limited post-injury. Josh Lowe is in a more challenging position, as he is recovering from a Grade 2 oblique strain and is projected to be out until June. As each player approaches their return, fantasy managers must weigh the risks and rewards of keeping them on their rosters.
