RATINGS ARE A-CHANGIN: Some will rise and some will fall

Classic legends or throwback cards won't see their ratings change, but the Live Series is meant to fluctuate based on how players are performing in the MLB.

The latest roster update for May 14, 2021 includes dozens of ratings adjustments, plenty of new additions, and position changes for several players.

Lindor loses Diamond tier while four others gain it

One of the big occurrences of each roster update will continue to be the players who gain or lose Diamond tier status in Diamond Dynasty.

We also saw four new Diamond tier players, as James Karinchak, Brandon Woodruff, Giancarlo Stanton, and Xander Bogaerts all had ratings boosted into the 85+ realm.
