Gunnar Henderson

An intercostal strain, suffered in the Orioles' Feb. 27 Grapefruit League game, put Henderson on the injured list to begin the 2025 season. He returned in the first week of April, but it took a while before Henderson began to look like himself, as he limped out of the gates with a .228/.268/.413 line through the end of April. The 24-year-old was more comfortable by the summer months, batting well over .300 in June and July. His performance dipped again down the stretch, and in the end, Henderson's .787 OPS was down more than 100 points from the year prior (.893). This may present an opportunity to buy low in fantasy drafts, though early ADP suggests there will not be much of a discount. Henderson reached a career-high 30 steals in 35 attempts last season, continuing his run of good efficiency on the basepaths and presumably keeping the light green under new manager Craig Albernaz.
