Today’s main screen for Diamond Dynasty mode in MLB The Show 18.

Surprisingly, only one player was upgraded to diamond level (85 overall or higher), and none were downgraded from diamond to gold. Being that this update comes after around 25 real-life MLB games (most occur after around 12 games), expect it to be one of the most turbulent roster updates of the year.

You can find all of this week’s changes here.

In addition to the live roster update, All-Star flashback Yu Darvish (87 overall diamond) was added to packs as part of Set 3.

SDS announced on an April Twitch broadcast that roster updates for MLB The Show 18 will be going out every other Friday at 12pm PST/3pm EST. The next update is scheduled for May 11.
