Outlook Dillon Dingler
Dillon Dingler is absolutely scorching at the plate, making him a must-start catcher.
Dingler has been on a tear, swatting four home runs with 11 RBIs over his last six games to help the fourth-place Tigers extend a three-game winning streak. Currently locked in as Detroit's everyday starting catcher, his elite play behind the dish and recent offensive explosion have solidified his role as a lineup cornerstone.
While his recent .292 average over the last week is a huge boost, our models project some regression toward his .240 season projection and current .241 mark. However, his power is legit; having already matched his 2025 career-high with 14 home runs in just 56 games, he has easily established a massive fantasy ceiling.
The Tigers finish the week with a three-game home stand against Seattle. Dingler faces tough matchups against Bryan Woo and Bryce Miller, who boasts a stellar 1.71 ERA, before a friendlier matchup against Luis Castillo on Sunday. Given his current scorching form, he is a clear weekly play. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Christian Yelich
Christian Yelich is swinging a hot bat as the division-leading Brewers head into a highly favorable weekend road trip.
The veteran has been outstanding since overcoming early-season injuries, batting .310 with 10 runs scored over his last 14 days. Yelich is locked in as the primary designated hitter for the first-place Brewers, who boast a division-best 37-22 record. Despite dealing with back and groin issues earlier in the year, he looks fully recovered and is running aggressively on the basepaths.
While Yelich's power has been down recently with zero home runs in the last week, his elite plate discipline remains on full display with a .429 on-base percentage over that span. Our season projection expects a solid rest-of-season line of 15 homers, 15 steals, and a .268 average. Expect his power numbers to trend back upward soon, aligning with his proven track record of hard contact and run production.
The rest of the week looks incredibly lucrative for Yelich, starting with a matchup against Adrian Houser before a highly anticipated series at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Facing struggling Rockies starters like Tanner Gordon and Kyle Freeland, who carries an 8.06 ERA, makes this one of the most favorable schedules imaginable. Yelich is an absolute must-start across all fantasy formats.
