Outlook Bryce Eldridge
Rookie Sensation Bryce Eldridge Scorches at the Plate, Securing DH Role
Giants top prospect Bryce Eldridge is tearing up major league pitching, batting .368 with a home run and five doubles over his last seven games. He has locked down the primary designated hitter role for the fourth-place Giants (23-36), who desperately need his offensive spark with outfielders Heliot Ramos and Harrison Bader on the injured list.
While his current hot streak has elevated his season average to .241, our models project a rest-of-season baseline of a .231 average with 10 home runs over 368 at-bats. Strikeouts remain a concern, but his elite raw power and excellent .391 projected on-base percentage suggest his fantasy relevance is highly sustainable in OBP formats.
The Giants embark on a seven-game road trip this week, starting with a tough series against Milwaukee before facing Chicago. While matchups against Kyle Harrison (1.57 ERA) will test him early, Eldridge gets to feast on Jordan Wicks (15.63 ERA) and Jameson Taillon (5.37 ERA) over the weekend. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Josh Naylor
Josh Naylor's Speed Surge Carries First-Place Mariners Into June
Naylor is hitting a clean .298 with eight stolen bases over his last 30 days, helping the first-place Mariners extend their six-game winning streak. He remains locked in as Seattle's everyday first baseman, especially with key teammate Cal Raleigh currently sidelined on the injured list. While his power has temporarily quieted with zero homers over his last 14 days, his high contact rate and surprising speed keep his fantasy floor incredibly high.
While Naylor's power has dipped compared to his career-high 31 home runs in 2024, his 12 steals in 56 games prove his 32-stolen-base breakout in 2025 was no fluke. Our models project him to finish the season with a solid .272 batting average and 20 home runs, suggesting a power rebound is right around the corner. Trust his secure workload and excellent contact profile to spark a return to form in the power columns.
Seattle plays six games this week, starting with three home matchups against the Mets before traveling to Detroit. Naylor will face some formidable opposing starters, including Freddy Peralta and Framber Valdez, but our projections expect a productive week with a .280 average and active base-running. He remains a must-start option in all default formats.
