Ben Rice | Fantasy Outlook

Ben Rice continues power surge as key lineup centerpiece

Rice continues to rake down the stretch, batting .289 with a .449 on-base percentage and three home runs over his last 14 days. With Aaron Judge on the injured list, Rice has cemented his spot as the everyday designated hitter for the second-place Yankees (89-66). His plate patience has been exceptional, drawing 10 walks across his last 11 games while recently swatting his 39th blast of the season.

Rice has utterly shattered our models' modest preseason projections of 26 home runs and 80 RBIs, racking up 39 homers, 100 runs, and a strong .362 OBP in 148 games. This late-season power surge is backed by genuine growth in plate discipline rather than luck. While his 153 strikeouts bring occasional slumps, his sustained hard contact affirms this breakout campaign is the real deal.

New York lines up for a heavy seven-game homestand this week, beginning with a doubleheader against tough Rays starters Nick Martinez (2.98 ERA) and Drew Rasmussen (2.72 ERA). Favorable matchups follow against vulnerable arms like Ian Seymour (4.55 ERA) and Baltimore's rotation, giving Rice ample opportunities to produce. Roll him out with total confidence across all formats. Start.
