Outlook Bryce Eldridge
Giants prospect Bryce Eldridge is tearing up big-league pitching during a scorching hot streak.
The Giants' prized prospect is on a phenomenal run, batting .353 with six doubles and a 1.068 OPS over his last 11 games. This scorching stretch has locked him into the primary designated hitter role for San Francisco, providing a massive offensive spark for the fourth-place Giants (24-38) as they navigate key injuries.
While his current production dwarfs our .231 projected season average, his elite power is undeniable, highlighted by a recent 453-foot blast. Eldridge possesses outstanding plate discipline, supported by our projected .391 season OBP, indicating that even when the average cools down, he will remain a highly productive asset.
The Giants have four remaining road games this week, featuring matchups against Milwaukee and Chicago. He faces tough tests in Coleman Crow (3.14 ERA) and Ben Brown (1.92 ERA) before encountering friendlier pitching in Edward Cabrera (4.00 ERA) and Jameson Taillon (5.13 ERA). With his bat fully dialed in, he is a fantastic lineup option. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Vaughn Grissom
Vaughn Grissom is surging at the plate, making him a highly intriguing middle-infield option despite a looming tough series against the Dodgers.
Vaughn Grissom is swinging a red-hot bat, slashing .321/.406/.571 with a home run and eight RBIs over his last seven games. He is currently seeing regular run in a depleted infield for the last-place Angels (24-39), who are dealing with injuries to Nolan Schanuel and Zach Neto. Grissom has slotted in as a primary option at first base and has quickly capitalized on the everyday playing time.
While his season average sits at .246, Grissom's recent surge is reminiscent of his early-career success in Atlanta, where he hit .292 in 2022. Our models project a conservative .239 rest-of-season average, but his excellent contact skills and 20-RBI month of May suggest his recent power stroke is more than just a fluke. If he maintains this aggressive approach, he should comfortably surpass his projected eight-home-run baseline.
The Angels have three games remaining this week, all on the road against the formidable Dodgers. Grissom will face tough matchups against Roki Sasaki (4.59 ERA) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.86 ERA) before wrapping up against Emmet Sheehan (4.50 ERA). While the remaining schedule is challenging, Grissom’s hot hand and guaranteed playing time make him a strong fantasy asset. He is a priority Hold in all standard leagues and a viable starting option in deeper formats.
