Outlook Anthony Volpe
Anthony Volpe's Hot Streak Makes Him a Strong Weekly Play
Since returning to the second-place Yankees (36-23), Volpe has caught fire, batting .300 with seven runs scored and two stolen bases over his last five games. He has consolidated his role as a primary middle-infield option, getting consistent playing time with Amed Rosario currently on the paternity list. His strong play is helping New York stay hot as they sit just 1.5 games out of first place in the division.
Our models project Volpe to finish the year with a .225 average and 10 stolen bases, which aligns with his career average of .221 but highlights that his recent hot streak is running a bit hot. While his .364 on-base percentage over the last week is stellar, expect his plate discipline and ratios to eventually regress toward his career baseline of a .284 OBP. However, his power-speed blend remains highly valuable in deeper formats if he can maintain a steady role.
The Yankees have a six-game home stand this week, featuring three games against Cleveland and three against Boston. Volpe gets some friendly matchups against pitchers like Slade Cecconi, who carries a 5.25 ERA, though he will also face tough starters like Sonny Gray and Gavin Williams. Given his active hot streak and a projected 1.8 stolen bases this week, he is a solid starting option in most formats. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Edwin Arroyo
Sizzling Prospect Knocks on the Door as Injuries Loom in Cincinnati
Edwin Arroyo is making a loud statement at Triple-A Louisville, recently smashing his 11th home run of the year while boasting a stellar .349 batting average. The highly-regarded switch-hitter does not currently occupy an active spot on the major-league roster, sitting behind Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain. However, with the fifth-place Reds navigating a tight division race and De La Cruz recently popping up on the injury report with a hamstring issue, Arroyo's path to a big-league debut is rapidly clearing.
Our current projections are highly conservative, estimating a brief cup of coffee with a .226 batting average and modest counting stats. However, his underlying tools tell a far more exciting story. After missing significant time in the past, the 22-year-old has displayed a massive power surge this spring, including a sequence where he hit five home runs in six games. When combined with his natural defensive pedigree and solid speed, his potential production far exceeds his baseline projections if he secures regular playing time.
For fantasy managers, Arroyo represents a high-upside stash rather than an immediate redraft contributor. His elite contact skills and newly unlocked pull-side power make him an incredibly appealing target in dynasty and deep keeper leagues. If you have an empty bench spot, grabbing him now before the official call-up could yield a massive dividend down the stretch.
