Fantasy Impact:
Roberts expects the NL MVP’s per-plate-appearance brilliance to hold—despite scaling back DH duty for pitching and curbing his 59-steal 2024 pace (vs. 57 over prior three years) to preserve his legs post-shoulder surgery—he’ll DH in Tokyo March 18-19 vs. the Cubs and join the rotation by May. Fantasy managers should tweak his top-tier value; elite production stays, but volume and speed take a hit.
